Hello Karen
The 19" refers to the frame size. Roughly speaking, this translate to a "Medium" frame. WE currently only have the one size, but if we receive enough interest, we may consider adding a wider size range.
A rider with an inseam between 26"-36" should be able to comfortably ride the Swiss Alps.
The fork on the Swiss Alps has an "Always on" suspension fork; no lock out. Generally speaking, in terms of comfort, we have found that the "always on" suspension is more suited for comfort riders. If you were to turn "off" the suspension, you would end up with a traditional rigid frame, while still carrying the weight of the suspension fork. In other words, all of the weight, none of the benefits.
While we understand that this design philosophy is not ideal for every rider, based on the feedback we've received, our customers do enjoy this design.
