Hi:

I was actually going to post on a new thread, when I saw both of yours I had to reply. I am about 5'2'' and ride a Trek 5200 WSD, last fall and then again today I had the chance to ride a Pilot and I gotta tell you it was a sweet ride. The one I rode was all Ultegra like my current bike and was also
smaller, (40+), then my current 51 cm. ride. The Pilot handles like a beauty
and if I was in the market I'd have no problem buying one. Unfortunately, I was so in love with the Pilot I never test rode the mtb. I went to the shop to ride.... I hope you both get your bikes soon, let me know how you like them...
