Struggling to get a mountain bike that fits.

[Mrs M]

I am 5'2" with a 29.5 inside leg so almost the same
I hired a small men's BMC MTB on hol and it was perfect.
Also ride Mr M's Cube and it fit's fine too.
Never tried Boardman but they look good too.

Right, I'm going to try this https://wwvanscycles.cw.eom/scott-scale-770-2017-mountain-bike-EV286086
and one other from Evans.Maybe this https://www.evanscycles.com/scott-contessa-scale-740-2017-womens-mountain-bike-EV286224. I actualy dont like the colour of this but can try it for size and wait for the 2018 model to come out if it suits me.
I think you are allowed to try 2 at a time, its £50.00 each isnt it that gets refunded?

£60. I think you might be able to get two as long as they are different models, not just two sizes of the same. Best ask Evans

My wife is 5ft3 and has a trek hardtail, not sure on the size but she tried a few and it fitted her perfectly.

Best to just try as many bikes as you can and take your time.
