Ok.. I started mtn biking three years ago on my son's Kona and it's done the trick surprisingly well, but it's time for my own now. I'm 5'3" and am Looking at the GF Mamba WSD. Love the idea of the 29" wheels, but the bike shop isn't sure that standover room is sufficient. I didn't have all that much on the one I've been using, but it hadn't been an issue... They suggested the Trek 6000.
Thoughts? Other suggestions?
