A problem I’ve come across while shopping for my trusty steed is the standover heights. I’m a short gwirl at 5’4” with around a 27 1/2 inch inseam.

Here’s a few bikes I’m considering, I’d like to stay under 2k usd and similar spec to these bikes

Radar X pro – I thought this one was perfect, until I looked at the standover measurements 😞

Salsa Journeyer – only a 51cm left, might be a good size with the 700c wheels though

Surly Straggler – would have to compromise on the mechanical brakes

Any other fellow shorties have anymore suggestions I should consider? I’d be forever grateful.
