TOTALLY different bike, but when I did have a mountain bike, it was a Cannondale Large, which is supposed to be a 19 inch. The XL was roughly a 21 inch and when I tried it out, it felt like riding a stretch limo. I'll probably bring a saddle and seatpost with me and see how the rockhopper fits. If I end up with a tall stem, it won't bother me much. I like smaller bikes anyway.
