I own a 2009 El Mar and love it! They've made some changes to the newer one (different tubing, sliding dropouts instead of an eccentric bottom bracket), so I'm no help there... It's the kind of bike that I can ride all day, and be comfortable.

FWIW, I'm 5'4", short torso and long legs, and the small fits me well.
