I have a friend who is 5' and rides a 29 HT. It's a Specialized, but I'm not sure which one.

My inseam is 30" and I'm 5'3.5". I have a new XS Salsa El Mariachi 3 that fits like a dream. If I were any taller I'd want the S, most likely. I think I'd be fine on my bike if I were an inch or two shorter, too.

If the Niners are in your price range, then you should also take a look at the Specialized Fate Carbon 29er Hardtail. I am 5ft 1in and I was able to demo their smallest sized Specialized Fate.

Out of curiosity, what made you choose the Niner Air 9 vs. the Specialized Fate? Either way, it sounds like a great choice!
