I used one of the Fisher designed Fox front shocks with a 51mm offset. In combination with a 72d head angle on the Mary it steered very crisply in singletrack. It helps toe overlap too but as mine was an large frame it wouldn't have been a problem. The lower trail works amazingly well off road. The person I sold it too sold his Moots as he thought the Haro rode nicer. I think for those under 5" 3" or so the 650B mountain bikes are a better fit. As David mentioned the smaller bikes have steep seat angles which can cause issues for those needing setback. I'm having a custom steel 29er built right now that replicates the steeper HA of the Haro for the really technical terrain that I can't ride my Ram on. In Riv tradition it will have some lugs, silver components and a Brooks saddle. ~mike
