In case someone reads this down the line and decides I should just buy a smaller bike, don't do that. Always buy a bike that fits. Also if you are riding around town and on-road or not mountain biking, a mountain bike is probably not the bike to go for. Plenty of excellent commuter bikes out there and carbon on a commuter is not ideal. It can be done and people will do it but stuff like this can be quite the poor choice.
