I have done mountain biking in the past, but most of my riding is road. I just moved to Georgia where I don't feel as safe on the roads as I did in Colorado so I decided to buy a 29er. Tried a 27.5 Scott size medium but felt it was too small. Rode a Trek X Caliber 8 size medium and I liked it. But then I tried the Cannondale Trail 4, size M and it felt great. I like the way it handled on the pavement. But then I took it for a spin on a trail. Hmm, a couple of stops when I got to a steep descent almost had me singing soprano. My crotch did hit the the top bar. I am about 5 7 and ½. Since knee replacement I lost some height. Oh and I am 72 and want to live until 73.
Is this bike too big for me?
