hey question for you turner guy's. would a small be to large for a 5' 1" ish gal?

I am 5'6" and ride a small. The small has a 22.2 inch top tube, my main concern is that it would be too long of a top tube. My wife who is 5'2" I dont think could comfortably ride my 5-spot. She has an extra small LocoMoto which has a 21 inch top tube, and even then she runs a pretty short stem. At 5'1" I would suggest you might want to take a look at the Titus line. They make some great bikes for the more...ahem...vertically challenged rider.

thanks, my husband rides a titus motolite and he likes it. just thought i would try the turner?? but guess being vertically challenged my selection is rather limited. We will go
down to Titus and talk to Chris, see if he has something that fits. any suggestions for front forks? i have a manitou minute 3, or do i need more? i see you live here in az, in the valley?

Yeah, I live in the Valley, actually in Chandler. I have always had some great service from Titus. I almost went with the supermoto, but wanted a uninterrupted seat tube and the geometry didnt quite work as well.
If Chris doesnt have an extra small Loco, I am sure my wife wouldnt mind you trying out hers. She has been doing a lot more road riding recently so she hasnt ridden it a whole bunch.
We both use the Fox forks. I found that the SPV makes the fork too harsh on the little bumps, especially for the lighter riders. My wife rides hers in a 4" travel setting front and rear.

i have a road bike that i'm trying to sell. its a 2000 lemond 47or 48. its in A++ condition.
if you know anyone? im wanting $700 for it. i have every kind of bike, and road riding just never tickeled my fancy. we live right next door in gilbert.
i might take you up on the try before you buy offer. my husband thinks i will really like the 4 bar. i am going to have a hard time giving up my superlite. were do you like to ride?
we usually do a couple night rides a week at south mountain.

Superlite is a nice bike, if you want a 4-bar in a longer travel flavor their arent a lot of choices. Titus does make the Racer-X in an extra small size, but I think they only go up to 4 inch travel. The Loco is a single pivot (different location from the SC) but goes up to 5 inches front and rear.
I ride South Mountain on weekends quite often. Weekdays I either commute to work on my fixed gear or sometimes ride Trail100 with a group on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
