    Thinking of a new bike and being vertically challenged ride a 17″ hardtail, I’m slightly concerned with how it will look proportionally.
    So can you put my fears to rest?

    Medium Swift. I’d say it’s round about 17″

    Mine and my GF’s…

    I’m 5ft10 and that’s a medium Kinesis Sync, she’s 5ft8 and that’s a small Kinesis FF29. She could probably have got away with a medium with a 70mm stem to be fair, but fancied the extra standover clearance on the small with its 15.5″ seat tube length!

    Medium Niner, around 17″.
    5’9″
    50mm stem.
    (Swapping to 70mm when I can find a Hope 70mm x 35deg).

    What a lovely thread. 🙂

    Niner EMD, Medium. I’m 5’9″. 50m stem perfect!

    Love the SS bikes above. Ska-49, sorry, but what frame/forks are those. They look fantasic.

    17″ is a medium, why would it look odd?

    Edit: actually mine’s an 18″ thinking about it.
