FRAME SIZE   Im, 5'11.75'', border line 6'. But, im only about 150lbs, 160 at my best.. I have a 17'' 6'' travel ALL MOUNTAIN bike that is way to small for me to ride DH. Its time to upgrade. My good friend has a 17'' Iron Horse Sunday World cup that i've sessioned multiple times on my home made ladder drop and it feels great. But i've never had the chance to rip it down a legit DH trail an prob wont prior to purchasing a Taka, my delima is, what size to get?! 17'' or 19''?! I know the 19'' will be big enough but will it be to heavy, an I know i'll be able to handle the 17 but would it barely be to small? Would I be more comfortable on the 19''? Ugh.. If only I was a few inches shorter or taller, then the decison would be EASY! Thanks for your help in advance!
