I finally did it....and it's definitely love!

I'm 5'4" and the bike is a Small or 16".
Giant sizes the bike as XS, S or M. I guess Giant doesn't think that women come in Large (or Giant --- sorry, couldn't resist).

Here's a link to the geometry chart for the Tempt.

I can't find their height vs. frame size chart for the Tempt, but according to it, an XS or S might have worked for me. I believed the S felt more natural and my LBS agreed it was a good fit.

Congrats on your bike!

I love my hardtail also. I too decided to be a flat pedal rider because I worry about falling off too much on clipless pedals when mountain biking.
