Hey

REALLY want an IH Mark 3, and have found one at a decent price BUT I'm 5'2" and really worried it's going to be too big. Not too worried about length, just standover. Anyone ridden one who can comment? For comparison (if it helps) a small FSR XC is ok for me.

It looks quite low from pics, but would be nice to confirm as I'm buying totally blind (foolish I know but have little option other than 500 mile round trip)

Cheers

I'm 5'7" and ride a 2009 mk111 in the medium size, bought from evans at the sale price.
never had a problem with the standover height as the top tube is sloped. Absolutley amazing bike for the money.
The bike does sit high due to the bb height but I imagine that most bikes with 5" travel also do.
