I'm just a MTB newb, but even I know that's a pretty drool worthy bike. Congrats on your new baby!

Artista, I ride an XS Titus . Oh how i lurve me little bike . Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

XXS would have been a smidgen bit too small..

Thanks everyone. I am very fortunate to have such a nice bike. Hubby was a driving force in this decision. Great guy!

I don't think many men would have a big problem riding my tough-girl pink & black color scheme but their knees would be in their chins. That should keep my bike safe from them.

Titus made my "short list". Too bad they aren't manufacturing again yet. And nice, used, XXS ones are few & far between.

I would have loved to have tried the 429 but I'm just too short. I like to know that I can come off the saddle fast & hard without hitting anything on the top tube. Fortunately the M4 is still a HUGE improvement over my too big hardtail in rolling over large obstacles. Our next purchase may be a 29'er for my husband.

My Epic 29er had my wrench laughing because the frame is so tiny with the monster wheels. I have almost no steering tube area. It is kind of like a clown car on wheels although it looks like wacky to me that my 700c road bike with a 47cm frame. But I have a 29" inseam, all 5'2" of me is apparently in my legs.

That frame looks wicked (in a good way), can't wait to see her glamour shots!! Everyone I know with a Pivot loves them. If you haven't been riding full squish you will love the change.

"Wicked" & "full squish"...I love it! She's my wicked, tough-girl pink & black, full squish, fun on wheels! And no, I had never ridden an FS before Saturday. I'm stoked!

I'm 5' 1" with a 28.5" inseam. I'd be 5' 4" and riding an FS 29er if my upper body was in proportion to my legs. BTW, if 29er's had originally been developed for shorties, people would think the bigger frames look weird.
