re: .1
You're probably right. I didn't know. Yikes, I'll have to
get a real pee-wee frame, being only 1.6m tall, with a
proportionately short inseam. Too bad the price of the
bike won't be proportionately smaller!

31.5 to 32.5 19 20 21 22

With my short legs, I ride a 19 inch road bike. When I started
looking for a mountain bike a couple of years ago, I couldn't find
a full size one locally that would fit! I ended up ordering one
(17 inch) from Bike Nashbar without "trying it on". It is just
the right size, I would not want one any larger.
I have riden (sp?) even a smaller one than mine, a friend of mine
has a small women's model, and have had a ball with it! I can move
(maneuver) it so much easier. For fun off the road riding, my
recommendation is don't be afraid to buy a smaller frame, you'll
have more fun.
My two cents worth..........
