I am MTB noob but toying with an idea of Surly Karate monkey.
How are they measured up? The smallest frame has effective TT of 57.5cm on my current road bike I have 52.5 effective .. confused
If you ride a road frame that small I strongly reccomend against a 29er. It will be too long, feel unweildly, be heavier, have compromised geometry etc.
29ers are generally ridden with very fat tyres which limits how short you can make a frame. Just get a normal 26er Mtb in size small.
