Im short 5ft 5" and am toying with the idea of getting a FS frame project going but am struggling to find a frame that i can reach the ground on.. 😆
I currently only have a charge blender and really like the feel of it, the size of it and the way it handles.
I love the look of the Transition Double..

Anyone know what the standover is like on the double??
Any other hobbit size frames to consider?
they are tiny in a short tt version 🙂
my mate has a small covert, he is 5ft 5 & 3/4 . He is fine on it.
Santa Cruz frames are fairly small for their size, and turner XS frames look very small.
Arrrgh.. spent hours looking at frames.
Like the new Nukeproof Rook, specialized sx (maybe too much travel tho), Specialized Pitch, Canfield Brothers balance, YT play, and the double.
Theres just too many bikes...
I need at least 3 more bikes.
Have a look at the Saracen Ariel 140mm.
Has huge amounts of standover and does ride a bit like the Blender, brutal but lots of fun.
Bit weighty to pedal very far, but it sounds like you're after more of a play bike anyway?
