I have posted several long rants about my love of my 27.5 on this forum. I had a 29er and went to 27.5. Best move I ever made. Three women in my area that are all top level racers just ditched their 29er's and went to 27.5. I think you should consider it. The 27.5 is a dream.

I am 5'2 and feel overwhelmed by at 29er. While it is a little more work to get over some of the big stuff, I feel like I have a lot more control with the smaller wheels. I mean it is all a matter of personal preference so make sure you try everything out before you buy.

I realize this thread is 7 months old, but I just wanted to share that the 2015 Trek Cali SLX uses Trek's smart sizing. Which means the 13.5" and 15.5" frames have 27.5" wheels and the 17" and 18.5" have the 29ers.
Curious which bike you ended up going with original poster? and what size did you end up with if you got the Cali?
