Fantstic! Now more have access to what is a superb frame. I'm glad they have kept the big downtube as its stiff and works great as a fender. And more fork clearance with that ugly extension. A good thing. Now let's hope they have designed in some tyre clearance at the chainstays as that is the current models biggest failing... 3 frame sizes! Fantstic!

Giant, Ventana, and Turner make small also. I'm sure there are many more. Your local shops may not think 29ers work for smaller people but I do, all 5"8" of me. @ Sean-
