Work colleague was looking for the same kind of bike. At 5ft 6 I suggested a 29er wasn't the way to go unless she was racing. Settled up on this:

Reviews well in the basic version but this has a better fork for pretty much the same price with discount.

Thanks looks like a great suggestion!

How do you equate your road bike stack/reach with mountain bike reach?
According to this the stack is a lot higher, but as is the reach. But then again MTB stems are a lot shorter, yeah?
