...build into an all rounder for a short rider?
Anyone??
No, while the seat tube is short, the top tube is still around a normal length
You need a small frame not a short frame if that makes sense
Sorry thepodge it doesnt?! The tt length is the same/similar to other frames I've had!
I've also been tempted 😳 . Yes, the toptube length on the 'regular' is pretty short (around 21.5" iirc - similar to a 14" On-One so I reckon it'd work although I did similar with an Intense Tazer hardtail a couple of years ago. Built into an absolutely awesome bike - super light and chuckable but how stiff?!!! My body was wrecked after a couple of days - sadly my old bones need squish or steel 🙁
I'm 5ft 6in, always felt the 15/16" mountain bikes to be a bit big despite them apparently being my size!
I use a 2010 yeti dj as an all rounder and I'm 6ft , it's lots of fun for short 1-2 hr rides
Anyone else with an opinion/thoughts?
Looked into getting a Snap a month or so ago and decided it would be as far from an 'all-rounder' as it could possibly be.
Have a look here:

I'm with mamadirt: on paper looks fantastic, however, I value my fillings 🙂
