I received the Dragon Slayer today, in a box that measured 70" x 34" x 11". The bike came pretty much fully assembled. After installing the front wheel/tire, I stood over the top tube for fit and the tube fit tight against my crotch standing flat footed.
The bike seems to be too large for me. I was under the understanding that the rider should have 3 to 4 inches of clearance when straddling the top tube.
After calling Jenson, they agreed to accept a return. As they were all out of the small at the discounted price, the rep stated he could discount the price on a Marin Bobcat Trail 5. The smallest bike size offered is a medium. The standover height is 28". I have an inseam of 29".
Would there be enough clearance and is this a decent MTB ?
The Bobcat is built on an aluminum frame and rolls on 29's.
A bit of guidance would be very much appreciated.
