If your good with a brush the decals can be touched up with a a $2 bottle of pink nail polish. I really like the ride of the late 80's Rockhoppers and Hardrrocks in the larger sizes they have about a 1-2 inch longer top line than typical for MTB and 2 inch longer wheelbase along with 175 cranks rather than 170's which will give one a bit more wiggle room setup wise for a larger rider. As for frame size I have one similar to the one above and it measures 22.5 which is what specialized listed there large models as in the late 80's.. I'm 6 ft with long arms and tend to like larger frames and there is easily enough room on mine with better long seat post and maybe different stem for a 6'3 rider.
