NOT FOR TALL PEOPLE!!! , August 8, 2009
by P. Hamilton
You know what I hate about this world? Contrary to popular belief, shorter people always receive the advantages in life. Be it when it comes to buying a nice pair of jeans, a nice suit, or, as I have come to find with this bike, buying a nice bike, the world is made for short people. In fact, as I've gotten older, and reached my max height of 6'2 - which, I really don't even consider THAT tall - I've actually began to understand the pain that left handed people experience in life - living in a world that's not made for them.
So look, I bought the 26" model. Generally speaking, this is a nice mountain bike. I live in Queens, NY, and enjoy riding the off-trails that encompass Forest Park. The bike handles all of the bumps and grinds of off-road riding. So if you're 5 foot something, and you are interested in purchasing this bike, my recommendation to you is to buy this bike. Because again, it handles itself well, and it's a sharp looking bike if I've failed to mention. If, however, you find yourself to be a "TALL" person, stay the hell away from this bike, as you will be just as disappointed as you are everytime that you're in Macy's and you can't find a pair of jeans with a 34 length to save your life.
For the life of me, I cannot straighten my legs out while I pedal on this bike; in fact, the only way that I can attain even a halfway comfortable pedal stroke, is to raise the seat almost to the height of an oak tree. Sadly for me though, you cannot raise the handle bars - AT ALL - on this bike, so that when I raise the seat high enough to get a comfortable pedal, I go home after every ride with a sore back, and sore wrists from having to support all of my weight that's leaning over the handle bars.
So yet again tall people, we've lost another one. If you're 6 foot something, don't even bother reading anymore reviews concerning this bike.
