I just test rode a Specialized Myka and a Jett. Jett was pricier but lighter. Nice bikes. It was fun trying them out by going up and over curbs, finding potholes, and parking barriers to cross. The smallest Cannondale was too big. (The bike shop where I tried the Cannondale said that it was the smallest mountain bike out there. I said no it wasn't, the Specialized ones were smaller and I couldn't even clear the top tube on the Cannondale. They didn't want to believe me. Pooh on salesman.)
Yeah, my mom and I were talking about trying to get everyone together around the holidays and take the newlyweds (or affianced couple) out for a nice dinner to celebrate.

Cannondale makes some pretty small 26" bikes (my current mountain bike is a Petite/XS and my 4'9" DS actually fits it pretty well), but none of their 29ers are smaller than a size medium, which would be too big for me. I hope that will change, soon. If I could get a 2013 29er in a size S I may pull the trigger on that. Otherwise I'd get a 26er with the plan to ride it for a couple of years, then pass it down to my DS and hopefully Cdale will pull their heads out of their butts in the meantime.
