    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.

    In any event, the SO fro the Troll might be too high for the OP. I hope not though.....
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    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!
