Thinking of a new bike and being vertically challenged ride a 17" hardtail, I'm slightly concerned with how it will look proportionally.
So can you put my fears to rest?

I'm 5ft10 and that's a medium Kinesis Sync, she's 5ft8 and that's a small Kinesis FF29. She could probably have got away with a medium with a 70mm stem to be fair, but fancied the extra standover clearance on the small with its 15.5" seat tube length!
