The overall handling of the bike is very good. I cant understand why Trek would supply a 13.5 frame with 175mm cranks. Replacement springs arent available yet. 5 chilis for construction, ride, minus one for component choices. Fantastic bike to own if vertically challenged - 5'.
Geometry fits perfectly.
Handles off-road terrain superbly. I spent a month and a half trying to find a bike to fit and this was the only one I was happy with in every respect. A real looker too. Unfortunately, the standover clearance of the smallest WSD frame is higher than the comparable men's frame and my wife had no clearance. I guess this is logical, because if you shorten the top tube, it rises faster and therefore has less clearance at midpoint.
