looking for a good FS bike .The Trek Fuel in a 15'5 frame is still snug if you know what I mean.So
any shorter people what are you riding ,Thinking of looking into the Women's WSD design . Help the
tax check is coming and he wanting a bike? Thanks

Titus (www.titusti.com) makes some very small full suspension frames... check the Racer-x and the
loco moto.

I've got a 30" inseam and sizing isn't a problem for me by any stretch of the imagination. I'm
currently riding a 17" HT with tons of clearance. There shouldn't be any need to go to a women's
design, just look for something around a 16" with a sloping top tube. Kona's and Specialized's are
potential targets.

Kona ( go ahead and laugh, JD) Be wary of the WSD design, they are for (women) people with a really
specific set of body proportions.

Or consider custom.

I'm like a 30' inseam and my 16.5" 03' Giant NRS is just fine. Some of the V bars like the
Cannondales and Haro's might be worth a look. I loved the V frame on my old Haro. I think that he
should go with his gut feeling. Try them out and if it feels good, go with it.

If you're worried about it being snug against the groin when standing astride the top tube then let
me tell you that when you're actually out there riding there are plenty of other things to worry
about than groin clearance when both feet are on the ground. There are a millions ways to stuff up
frame/groin clearance and that tis' but one...
