The only way to tell is to try it; find one in a store and see ifit fits you.

I see some people have bought a non-strutted seat post. Where do I buy that?

I am a 5'5 and this bike is pretty comfortable, although the seat is set almost all the way down..but that doesn't mean is not gonna be good for you, everybody's comfortable level is different...I think the best is to find one in store and see how it feels!

I'm 5' and am able to comfortably ride it after replacing the bike post for about $20. The seat does not go down all the way otherwise. It is hard to explain, but if you look at the picture of the seat post, you'll understand!

At 5'1" I would say this bike is not the right fit for you. I am 5'4" and my feet do not lay flat on the ground when stopped and sitting on the seat. I have to tilt the bike slightly to the side when stopped at red lights or be on my tip toes. The seat is all the way down already, so there is nothing further I can do besides wear a shoe with a heel.

I bought this bike for my daughter that is 5'. She likes to be able to be seated while stopped. In order for her to be able to reach while stopped I changed the strutted seat post for a regular non-strutted one. That gave her the extra 2" for a lower seat. If you are changing the seat post make sure is the correct size. It is an excellent bike!

I am 5'2 and I do not have any troubles riding this bike. I think it is different for everyone, but I feel comfortable on it. I have pretty short legs too and I absolutely love this bike.

A 700 (mm not cm) wheel is about 27"; try to find one in a store and see if it works for you.

This is a fine bike for short people. It is one of the best exercise bikes I have ever ridden. I am 5"1'--and a friend of mine who is a bit shorter recently bought this model and tells me it works for her too.

I'm 5'5 female, about 190, and I have the medium frame (yellow/black). Technically this frame is too big for me, measuring from my foot to the apex of my inner thighs. The seat is adjusted as low as possible, also. I ride comfortably. Measure yourself from foot to inner thigh. When I got my bike, the box said the rider has to be a minimum of 33"--which I'm 32" with shoes on. It's a rather sturdy bicycle, and with the tires aired properly you'll feel like you're not even trying, so there's no worry about feeling like you're going to break it.

You may try but this would be more appropriate for someone around less than 6 feet and weighing around 80kg. You may look for something more sturdy for a comfortable ride. I would suggest Diamondback 2013 Overdrive V 29'er Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels, expensive but worth it.

This is not a "small" bike at all; definitely not too small for you.... daughter is 5'7" still has room to raise the seat if she keeps growing.

Even though I am male and 6 foot 2, I have a few 26inch bicycles and all you have to do is adjust the seat post up. You can always get different handlebars for comfort, but this bike is fine as it is. Just to give you a different reference, my wife and also her daughter who are both at the lower end of the 5 foot range have used this bike. I had to lower the seat all the way down where the seat springs straddle the bike rack and it works for them just fine.

We bought this bike for our daughter who turned 7 in July and she is 47 inches tall. I think the bike is a little too tall for her. Maybe by next summer.

57 for sure. I'm 5'11" 175, and it's a perfect fit. Plus I've heard rumor the 54 wheels hit the frame :/

This is the 26" bike which is marketed to anyone 5'1" and over. My husband and I bought it for our 12 year old daughter but it's a great looking bike and I definitely wouldn't mind owning this bike myself. I've ridden this bike a few times and it's a comfortable ride for me. By the way, I'm 5'7".

Weighs 27 lbs. I'd say bike may be a bit too big for 5'7". I'm 5'11" and had the seat relatively low on the clamp.

I'm 5'7" and it fits fine. But I wouldn't recommend this bike. It's very cheaply made.

I am 5'1" and it works great for me. I do not have the seat at the lowest level. I am very happy with this bike.

I am 5' 10" and the bike fits fine.There are adjustments in the bike to accommodate your height, but I would be more concerned with weight - the built in shocks are not adjustable and it might be a problem if you are over (in my estimation) 220 lbs.

My son's girlfriend is 5 ft. 7" and it is great for her! I think the bike is good for teens and up. She is 25 yrs. Old

No, not at all. I am 5 foot tall and it's a great bike! Not too large at all. I really enjoy the bike, you won't be sorry if you get it.

My wife is 5'2"...it was MUCH too large for her. It is a nice bike, but I would recommend it for someone 5'5" or taller.

I am 5' 7" tall, and this bike is almost too big for me. When I sit on the saddle, my feet barely touch the ground. Consequently, I would think anyone shorter than me would find this bike too large.
