I would say that for you the Stumpjumper or Trance are the best.

The Lapierre is out because it's too big.

Don't know much about the Kona

I've had a Stumpjumper - first full sus bike I had and it was great. The Trance is also great especially as it's an x1

If it was my choice from those I would go for the Stumpjumper.

Are you sure? I would have thought medium too. :lol:

I have limited experience of the other bikes but I would give the stumpjumper the thumbs up. It's a great bike for the kind of singletrack we ride. Maybe not as nimble up the hills as the Trance but it's the one I would go for.
