I have a thread in the Classic and Vintage forum and we're discussing size. I found a local Bridgestone MB-2 with a 19" frame. I rarely come across nice older MTBs. I have a 35" inseam. Would this bike be out of the question? I read that sizing is more lax with mountain bikes. If I should have a 21"-22" frame, could I possibly swing it. Maybe with a lot of seatpost and a tall, long stem with riser bars? How many of you prefer a considerably smaller frame?

Just looking for opinions! Sorry for cross posting!

Here's the bike. It already has a pretty tall stem.



Thanks!
