5'11". Its does look massive doesn't it?
It rides quite nice; sort of stretched, but not too noticably. Haven't really rode it that much so can't really comment too much on the reason\need for the 24". The Gears are Euclid. Levers are REALLY old school shimano linked to Suntour roller-cam. Bit reluctant to take offroad too much as its in top condition, although if the weather is nice tomorrow will take it out into the peak with the Wife for a pootle around the reservoirs.
