One last bike shopping question, I've narrowed it down to these two 29ers.

I'm one of those women who really does seem to do better in the WSD, long legs and shorter arms and torso. I do notice a nice fit with the Specialized WSD models, not sure if it would be as noticeable with the other brand-names. But anyway, here are my final two contenders.

In some ways the X-cal seems better on paper, from the research I've done so far... and it does get good reviews... But the Specialized seems a favorite of women riders and you don't hear as much about them breaking and falling apart etc. Again I liked how the Specialized fit. I talked to Specialized shop guy today and he felt the Jett Comp 29 was no slouch (this model was called the Myka HT Expert 29er in 2011) , his main suggestion for the Jett was to get some really light tubeless wheels to knock a couple pounds off the weight and give better traction etc. I was put off by hearing that there were a lot of frame breakage problems with the x-cal, as well as other things breaking and snapping after not much use on them, don't know what to make of it. Seems some people still really love them.
