Does anyone know what dh frames have the lowest standover? I'm 5'3" with a short inseam and I would like to have a little more room. I'm riding an 03' bighit w/ 8" rear and 888 up front w/ 24" wheels front and rear. I have no room at all on the top tube.

my small gemini isnt the lowest, but its pretty damn low

thanks for the info. I don't think it gets any lower than that PDC but how are there bikes? I haven't seen or heard anything about them. I was also wondering about the Banshee scream or a SC v-10. If anyone is familiar with them.

PDC bikes are nice. Solid, simple, proven design. Low C of G. Long stroke shock. Stiff, triangulated swingarm. Made in Canada. (not just "designed in Canada") They are a bit pricey though. My Balfa is similar in design and close to the same standover for a lot less money.

Heard a rumor that Iron Horse's new DH bikes will be very low, and knowing them and thier crazy pricing, it will be like $14 bucks for the whole bike. And they'll give you a back rub.

Might wanna wait that out.

Lol, and a back rub. I'm waiting for sure.

the race link is my dream bike little over my budget. I would like to look into the sm orange 223. I like the Balfa but have heard negative things about them and the whole going out of business thing. something with a 29" standover would be really nice

Turner DHR are also pretty low, i'm 5'5 with short legs and have never had any problems with it

Norco Team DH is super-low, it looks like it may be one of the lowest ones out there...
