Anyone ride a 29er?

I know all frames are diffrent etc..... But

Whats your height and what size do you ride?

It will be my first 29er

I would usually ride a large (so a 19" or 18")

But im not sure if the size rule of thumb goes out the window when you're talking about a wagon wheeler.

I've seen an 18" kona unit with a roomy 23.5" top tube but this would equate to a medium in the unit range.

I tested the same sized kona as you and i normally ride 19.5 trek, the post was at it's limit but it felt ok. The sizing is generally no different with big wheels so if you ride a 19 for 26" then start there for 29" and see how it feels

I'm 5'11" and usually ride an 18" as well.
I have a medium/18" Fisher Rig and it feels pretty spot on for me.

Although I'm intrigued to try a 16" with sus forks as it has a 1degree slacker ht.
