They make Fisher's in 13" too, but it is kinda late for a specialty size like that. I really didn't like how the Rockhopper felt, but for the price the components are fantastic! The geometry just didn't do it for me like the Fisher did. Then again, the Fisher dealer spent a lot of time and really worked with me on it. My Big Sur climbs and descends beautifully, and is nearly a perfect fit.

If you're used to a road bike, you might actually dig the Rockhopper, the geometry to me just felt, um, long? I come from riding performance horses, I like things in quick, tight packages.
