5'2" looking for 29" hardtail- opinions please

[TigerMom]

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

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.

I am 5'3" and my 29er is a Specialized Myka HT elite. I love it.

I am so excited!!!

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