Nathank, THANK YOU
That is a lot of information, and I will search for that post. Looks like valuable stuff along with your post here. Again, thank you.
The first thing out of my mind reading all this... I wonder how a Specialized HotRock would work out for a smaller adult...
I mean, my wife sometimes has to buy shoes and occasionally speciality clothing from the children section... (oh poor gal! hehe)
Like.. these

24 inch wheels.. all the way thru 20, 16, & 12 inch wheels.
Heck, I wish I had one of those when I was that size...
And harov3 I noticed how similar that design of the giant you sent me is to the specialized 24" boys bike.
Anyway, thanks all for the food for thought.
