I just did a rough inseam measurement of 76.2 cm from the floor up- I don't think that is far off from the "official" measurement.

It isn't my hands that I am considering when I look at the FS, but I've back and neck issues... this does not mean that I still might not opt for a hardtail, but I will have to balance it all out. If there is too much jolting that winds up hurting then I wouldn't ride it at all. Jonathan is strongly encouraging me to not get a hard-tail - and he has back issues as well.

I am mainly interested in XC riding and more non-technical singletrack - I like road riding - but I also like the option of being able to head down to BCSP or closer trails on windy days or if I just want to get away from the cars that day.
