So now I get to change. I was on a Salsa Ala Carte (look here soon to be for sale). I am now on a Gary Fisher Paragon. This is their high end 29er hardtail. I am absolutely loving it. Oh, and I'm 5'4", and the bike fits perfect.

got a photo of the paragon? Did you go from full suspension to hardtail- do you like it better? Not trying to hijack- I have a trek 7200 hybrid and a gary fisher wahoo and a downtube FS9 folding bike. I am just interested in hardtail 29er vs full suspension 29er.
I'm heavy, and old, and not too crazy about getting bounced around so much any more.

My Salsa was a hard tail and so is the Paragon. I went from 26" wheels to 29" wheels. I wasn't ready to jump to the full suspension yet.

I ride a Trek Fuel EX 9.0 that I won in the Project One design contest
I'm 5'2" on a men's small which is a little tall but they don't do the carbon frame any smaller. I love it.
I can't do WSD- too short in the cockpit. I just got fitted for a road bike and need a 50cm men's frame, so wsd isn't for everyone, even us short gals.
