I'm after a 2011 Rockhopper, but I'm not sure on frame sizes.
I'm 5'9 and I'm looking at a 19 inch frame but after looking around it seems I should go for the smaller size of 17.5 inches.
My inseam is 32 inches.
Nowhere seems to have one in stock at the moment so I can't really trial one either.
Thoughts?

Your inside leg is long for your height, so maybe the 19" would be better. Try to find a local shop with bikes you can sit on though, and bear in mind that you can try Hardrock models as they are the same geometry.
