Hey, I've got a friend who looking to buy her first mountain bike, and since I know it can be difficult for a shorter woman to find a bike that fits I was wondering if I could please get some help putting together a list of ideas for her.
She's 5'2, and I was hoping to find some examples of an inexpensive XC hardtail, an XC-ish all-mountain bike, and a more aggressive all-mountain bike.
So, for example, a Santa Cruz Juliana might fit into the middle category. That's the only really small bike that I know of :)
Does anyone else have any ideas?

Santa Cruz Juliana / Heckler (S)
Giant Trance (XS) / Reign / Reign X (XS)
Norco Sight (S)
Rocky Mountain Altitude (15")
Specialized Safire (S)
Any 15" or under hardtail bike should be okay.
I have a norco sight (26", 2014) in an XS.
I'm 5ft and it's awesome!
I also used to have an XS Giant Trance and have rented a Safire in Whistler which was also great. (guess it was a small)
