I’m looking to get a pair of Summit 2’s for me (5’11”) and my wife (5’4”), and I would like to share them with my teenage daughters (16 - 5’2” & 17 - 5’5”).

I test-drove an R and L Discovery 3, the L felt more comfortable, the R was a little more cramped but still fine. They only had a L Summit I could sit on but not ride and it felt fine.

The Discovery R accommodates riders up to 5’11, but the Summit recommends an L starting at 5’10”.

If I wanted to get a pair of bikes we can all enjoy but I would primarily be riding, would I feel more cramped on a Summit 2 R vs my 5’5” daughter being unsafe on a L? Would swapping out the stem for the 90 degree help me feel more comfortable on the R? I don’t mind riding a little more upright.

I was kinda dragging my feet on getting mine mailed back in hopes we'd get more clarification or a walk back early this week, but I don't want to be seen as holding things up. How long are you waiting to put your cert in the mail? Seems weird those with digital certificates weren't instructed to delete all copies.
