I am 5"7 and I bought a 17.5 Trek *.5 DS few weeks ago.
I tried the 15.5 and felt too crammed. Seat felt too close to the handles... With the 17.5 I feel comfortable.
People are saying I should of went with the 15.5. Isnt it about comfort?
Sure I dont have that 3-4" stand over clearance but with the 15.5 when I would peddle my knees felt too close to the handle bar.
Anyway what do you think?
Also are the tires on this bike considered 29"... I know they are 700x38 but what if I wanted to slap on some 29x2" tires. Would they fit?
