Unfortunately, I think the Truth might be out of my reach -- literally! I tried a size small and I found the top tube to be a tad higher than I'd like. I thought perhaps the XS would work, but according to the Ellsworth website, the standover height for all Truths is 28". I'm 5'4" with a 29" inseam, so that seems a bit too high for me.

If you guys got it, please let me know how it's been so far.

Thanks,

Hi Cari
No we havent got one yet. My husband is still coming to terms with the cost. He is trying hard to justify it but keeps telling himself his hardtail is fine.
I on the other hand keep telling him to go for it. I feel guilty as he bought me a new road bike awhile back and went all out on it. Hmm maybe thats why he keeps grimacing at the cost he still hasnt gotten over the purchase of my bike. Sweet that he would splurge on me and then tell himself he really doesnt need a new bike.
I will keep working on him though and let you know if he makes the big purchase.
