The general advice seems to be 150cm tall or so for 26ers. however the Pinnacle Kauri seems to have really low stand over, and looks a bit like it's been designed as an equivalent of 29er but for kids. Anyone got one of these and how tall was your kid?

From the picture it looks like it would fit her at 131cm tall at least in the leg, but reach might be long.

My wife has a Pinnacle Kauri, she's 4'10 and disabled, so we needed the low standover as well. Great bike, light enough but scope to lighten further as things wear. Great value for what you get.

A bit sit up and beg but bars and spacers can be changed.

At the Cycle Show yesterday was very impressed by the Genesis Core and Whyte 26" kids bikes. The Orange Zest looked great as well but looked quite long in the top tube.
