I understand perfectly well. Judging a frame by the numbers can only help so much. What's left is to try them out and go from there.

I Agree. I never realized frame fit would end up being such an issue for me.
Trail bikes definetly go against the sort of fit I wanted, but I'm very eager to get back into trail riding this season - properly. I know there are trail bikes out there which should fit me properly. I've been intently searching classifieds, but all I'm finding is extremely high prices for used bikes.
