Thanks RM

I look forward to test riding the Ibis . At least they come in XS!!

A friend also says it rides like a dream!

Which Santa Cruz model are you looking at? I just bought the small carbon Blur. I am 5'4" and the fit is questionable. It's really fast and light though.

DG-I've just started my search but I do know that Yeti's come in XS or XXS . I don't want to upgrade to carbon as i'd be worried it would break..

I'm shorter than you so won't be getting a small!!!

I demo'd a pivot last summer and it was sweeeeeeet - but super expensive too - holy crap!!

When you're buying at that level you have to try them all.

MTBR is mostly reviewed by men - so keep that in mind. And take each review with a grain of salt. Good luck!

I was turned off to the Santa Cruz Juliana because of how they do there pivot system. Just didn't seem to give me enough "squish". It sure was a looker though! My opinion is bikes are personal so I try not to let reviews of the ride sway me and look for durability issues. I missed the last Yeti demo day, that would have been fun!

Plus what rides well in Rocky Texas is not going to be the same in Pea Gravel Australia.
