What to do..what to do..

I like the Juliana because the small size but I didn't like the way they do the full suspension. I tested a Specialized Safire and liked the 5" travel but their top tubes where way short, I felt like my butt might as well be on the bars. I went with a Gary Fisher which was perfect, I couldn't stop smiling at the fit - I felt like they designed it for me! How many can you test ride, I tried several and it was very helpful.

you should pick which one fits you best... however, I did have a juliana for a while... very nice XC bike and they do have the XS size Can't wait to see what you find!!!

Allyoop-I'm riding a Scott Scale 40 but...it's just a wee bit too big. Even with the smallest stem available I still can't fully bend my arms . I love it as it goes uphill like a dream.

I'd like to upgrade to a dually but want something that'll be worth my $$$, not too heavy & fits!!!!!

Trek isn't my dream bike..a Yeti would be. Everyone that I know that rides one raves about them!! If I bought a dually from say..Giant, i'd just want to upgrade to a yeti or something later on...

*sniff*

I'm not in a big city like Sydney or Melbourne where I might have a gazillion options ..THis is Perth

My new bike is a small custom Santa Cruz Superlight (the non-WSD version of the Juliana). I also tried the Ibis Mojo but decided I didn't need all that much travel. The SC is fantastic for fast XC riding & climbing; not super cushy if you were looking for a more all-mountain ride. Haven't tried the Yeti but it looks like a nice bike too (pretty colors!). Good luck in your search!

Thanks again trekhawk for letting me take your mtb for a play round this afternoon. At least I know XS's most likely going to be the size i require...

I shall report back after trying an XS Yeti...

No worries mate!
I look forward to hearing how the XS Yeti felt.
