400mm seat post and a 120 stem should sort it and you'll love the flickability when up on the pedals amongst the trees on the 'land
Best hardtail for Under £750

Yep and I guess in theory smaller = lighter and stronger and less flex I.E: less metal fatigue.
Sounds like a good deal. Tbh I find the Rockhoppers top tube on the short side, so hope it fits you ok.
You should have some room to play with by ramming the seat right back on the rails (maybe getting a layback seatpost if your gonna go 400mm) and getting a long stem, though.

Do I really need to get an extra long, laid back seat post and push it back on the rails and get an extra long stem?
I am after all ONLY 5'7" to 5'8", which is only a couple of inches above the normal max size for the bike. We shall see when it arrives. I have had confirmation of the order and the money is out of my account, I am just waiting for the call to collect it.
It was bought using "Ship2Store" which apparently takes about 5 days.
