Standover heights?!?

Cari:

I'm joining this conversation late but two bikes that might work well for you are the SC Superlight previously mentioned and the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR - both have similar geometry. The Superlight is a XC bike with 4" of travel. The Spec. FSR is a XC bike with 4" and the Stumpjumper FSR is an all-mountain bike with 5". Both SC and Spec. sale women specific bikes for each model (the Superlight is the Juliana for SC). Both the SC and the Spec. have alot of clearance. I'm 5'8" and ride a medium on both bikes although I can almost do a large in the Superlight. I own the Spec Stumpjumper FSR and love the bike. Almost bought the Superlight but with the fit kit I wanted it was alittle out of my price range.

The Blur tends to be a "tall" bike, not alot of clearance. Most of my friends ride SC, and prefer the Superlight over the Blur.
