What size mountain bike for a female, 5 "2' 120 lbs?

I’m looking to get into mountain biking, and I was wondering what size bike frame and what sixe wheels I need, because of my short height.

    You will want to stay with 26′ wheels. You’ll be looking at the smallest frame sizes mostly. My girl friend is 5′ 0" and rides a 13.5" frame. Fits fine.

    I’m short myself (5′ with shoes on), and I bought a mountain bike with 26" wheels and an "XS" frame, Raleigh M20. A friend of mine who is about 2 inches taller bought a Raleigh hybrid "S" frame. that one has bigger wheels, 700cc. Your best bet is to try out different sizes at a bike shop.

    You might want to try a Mountain Bike with 24" x 2.125" wheels.

    24 inch wheels are every bit as good as 26 inch wheels.
