Was just looking at the Troll geometry chart...is it just me or does that bike run wicked big? I think my 16.5" Trek has the same standover as the 14" Troll (and no, I am not referring to when I have the street tires on it).

I don't disagree, although it's not altogether different from a lot of mtbs. I have a short inseam for my height (I'm 5'4 with an inseam just under 29 inches). It's a struggle to find mtbs with enough clearance. For instance, I ride a Santa Cruz Juliana and while they contend that their XS and S fit women in the 4'11 to 5'4 range, the SO for the bike suggests otherwise.Quote:

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I can compare numbers for a road bike, but I know nothing about mountain bike geometry so I didn't even look at the charts. Those numbers are bigger than my Specialized Sirrus which is my current everything bike. Hmm. I wonder if I'm just looking for an excuse to get the Friday. Honestly, the information I've received on this site had been invaluable. Thank you to everyone!Quote:
