Yup, but the geometry of mountain bikes has been changing rapidly, and
not all manufacturers use the same geometry, by any means. You need to
go and try a few. Don't be surprised if you end up with a 19", or even
a 17" - it depends on (mostly) the angle of the top tube. What matters
is that it's comfortable to you.
