I'm a little taller than 6' and ride the largest standard sized Hardrock they made when it was new - with 26" wheels. My GF is maybe 5' and rides a 17" Trek Multisport with 700C wheels. She knows which shoes go with which outfit, but doesn't see the difference in frame and wheels sizes when our bikes are together.
