Anyone know of any manufacturers who make 29er frames for people of around the 5'2" mark.
Rocky mountain do but geo is more for racing and On One's offerings don't start that low.
Trail friendly geo is needed as it's needed as a do-it-all bike.
Cheers,
Tim

Check Santa Cruz size charts but I think you are going to struggle.

I think a 24" wheel is more your size.

Slogo - doubt it there fella.
The person in question already rides a 26" Inbred, she's on the larger side of that. Cotic do 26" in her size, she was sat on 2 different Rocky (but with race geo) 29" frames out in the the states last week.

alexpalacefan - Brilliant, thanks!
EMD 29er fits the bill as does, I found , a Trek Stache full build (longer travel option at 120mm).
