I am 5'3" and have an Orange 5 diva, its is a great bike, brought it without testing it (yer i know stupid) at first i thought it felt quite small but i think this was because i was used ti riding a 18" kona. Now its perfect great for chucking around the trails and climbs really fast too, quite an upright rising position, possibly this may make it feel small when first ridden?

Hi there, I own (and love) my orange diva 5, but I am 5"1 and into my freeriding (well, before I got pregnant that is).  It should also be noted that the Diva is made up in a more burly spec than most women would go for.  For example, it has a very long fork, riser bars, and a short stem/top tube that gives it the appearence of being smaller.  I actually stripped the test bike when I had it, and put all my own components on.  I think standover is really important, and you really need at least 2-3 inches clear to be safe and comfortable.  Depending on your riding, would also recomend a Julliana, they come in various sizes, but I went for the Orange frame as I needed something stronger after already cracking the frame on one Julliana! Best of luck
