Please excuse me if this is a really stupid question. I'm just under 5ft tall and want to get an entry level mountain bike. I've had a sit on a couple in a couple of bike shops and I'm really looking to get a bike that's a 13 inch frame which limits my options.
Someone suggested that I consider getting one of the bikes from the boardman youth range in Halfords. It looks like they would be about the right size but what's the difference in spec between a 'youth' bike and an actual grown up bike? Is this a really stupid idea? Can anyone suggest any alternatives? I'm seriously tempted by this at the moment as Halfords has 15% off their boardman bikes til next Wednesday.
Grateful for any advice as I'm totally clueless!
