I have always ridden medium frames out of habbit... I am 5ft7. I ordered a new small hardtail frame in the 14" size. I thought I needed a 16" but Giant does not make a 16" hardtail frame in the XTC model. It's either 17.5 (too large for sure) or the 14". The standover height is not an issue but the top tune will be about 1.5" shorter than than the med frame. I know I can get a setback seatpost but I am just curious how much this will effect the handling of the bike.
Any thoughts?
