Convential wisdom is different for 29 than 26... For little wheels, you're probably right about a 19" frame, but you may be on the bubble between 17" and 19" for big wheels. I'm 5'10", 32.5" inseam, and both of my 29ers are medium frames. If you felt better on the Paragon, by all means, buy the Paragon.
