I have just sold a Sedona, but only because I needed to purge my bicycle
fleet. Giants are nice bikes and quite well specified.
I am also 5'7'' tall and unless you have a peculiar physique a 14" or XS
size Sedona is going to be too small for you. I rode a 17" or S size
Sedona
and in retrospect I could have done with a 19" or M size because I had the
seat post at full height in order to get the right leg extension when
pedalling. My crotch measurement or Pubic Bone Height is 82cm.
