Im 6 foot 2 and I ride a 19" with no problems. I feel like I can manuver better and have better control on tighter trails with a smaller bike but for high speed and/ or rough trails, a bigger frame seems better but thats just me.

I am 6'3" and have recently purchased a 21" specialized, I looked in to which size was best for me and asked lots of people who pretty much came back with the same reply, if you want to move around on the bike a lot and manouver it more then a smaller frame will suit as for me its more straight line training so a bigger frame will do.
