Handlebar Mtb

What is the best way to convert a 17" mtb to suit a person who should have a 19" frame?

I was led astray by the seller who told me it was a 19" frame. I have adjusted the seat to 3" from it's max height but now the handlebars are probably 3 " too low.Help?

I think you'll be all right with the seat raised up and a high rise stem. Unless you're a competitive rider, any handling differences between a 19" and a 17" with the right stem and seat post would be imperceptible. In fact, I'd go far enough to say the putting the high rise stem on the frame you have now would _help_ the handling characteristics of the bike because of your size. Will it handle as well as a properly set-up 19"? Probably not, but as I said, if you're not a serious racer, you probably wouldn't know the difference.

I would take the bike to a shop that offers fit services. They can make sure you have a long enough seat post and a stem with the right rise and length. In all seriousness, unless you were on the big side for 19" to begin with, it should be pretty easy to set it up well enough for you to ride comfortably.

Just be glad it wasn't too big, you can't make the bike 'smaller'!
