how much do you have to spend and do you have anything in mind
if not you can check the tradeing section

You cant go past a giant reign x1...or x0 depending on your price range.
pretty light, easy to throw around. and handles the downhill easy.

I have a friend who is small.







He rode a ironhorse yakuza until recently. It was very nice indeed and seemed to work well with smaller riders. The other good thing is that they are highly upgradeable as they have good solid frames. Or you could get a reign x0 or 1 but the yakuza's a lot cheaper and more dh than trail.

Ha, this has nothing to do with this thread but Iv met tracey and go to school with her sister Milisser. Anyway I definatly recomend a Sunday or maybe, even though I can't stand them, a stinky. But I wouldn't be too worried about that because Im only 13 and I ride a medium Black Diamond and its size is fine.
