How many other bikes did she test ride before you helped her decide what bike to get? To fully qualify what bike did she have before that Stumpy?Sure she can. My girl is 5'4" and she rides a 15.5" 29r Stumpie.
Both the Stumpie & the small AIR/SIR Niner both fit her just fine with the stand over etc.
which 29er did she ride? Cdale doesnt make a woman's 29er...or was it a men's frame?Several (all hardtail 29rs available locally in ABQ):
Cannondale
I'm 6' and still not convinced that 29ers are better at anything.
It matters not how many other bikes she tested. My guess is that it was either get the 29er or listen to N8 go on and on about 29ers all day.How many other bikes did she test ride before you helped her decide what bike to get? To fully qualify what bike did she have before that Stumpy?
Looks more like a hybrid bike with bars that high? Bikes with 0cm drop handle horrible, I can't imagine how sketchy that set up is for her with -12cm.
Let her ride whatever bike she likes.Let's hear what you all have to say about a 5'4" woman on one.
It's for a customer and I don't suspect I'm going to get a S Epic 29 to demo. I'm looking for folks that actually have mileage. So far the only one thrilled is N8, and we know how that weighs.Let her ride whatever bike she likes.

So what you've done is show that people who hang out in the eMpTy BeeR 29er forum like 29ers. Good work.Yawn:

Really? Must be why I can't ride anything technical.Bikes with 0cm drop handle horrible
Why is the stem flipped up? Whoever built that should be fired.
Maybe just talked to...Why is the stem flipped up? Whoever built that should be fired.
