It works just as well as a 29" mountain bike! I am burning past huge-wheeled cyclists as if they were standing still.

But what about my 3-year-old kid? What's she going to ride now?

Not to worry. I lowered the seat tube of my old 26er and BOOM! Fits her perfectly.

Who knew? Any size frame will work for any size person - as long as they adjust the seat tube.

Thanks so saving me the hassle of trying out larger-framed bikes!
1. You don't adjust seat tubes. You adjust seat posts.
2. Buy a longer seat post if needed.
3. Prove you really aren't a troll. You seem to be dismissive or flippant as your first course of action.
