Plenty of less tall people ride Cokers, even in standard trim. I'm 5'7"
and rode mine comfortably on 150mm cranks with a standard frame and
seat/seat post. (Longer cranks mean you need the seat lower, and
longer legs.)

Cathwood who posts in this forum describes herself in such a way that
she seems unlikely to bang her head on a chandelier, and she has a 36".
A search may produce pictures of it. If I recall correctly, it has
telescopic fork legs. (Or she has telescopic legs. I can never
remember these details. )

I once had a bad experience with a bigot. Now I hate them all - even
the ones I haven't met.

Her original telescopic coker frame is now residing with annats, she
has a chopped down nimbus 36 frame currently.

not really that simple for shorter folks hobo chuck. You also have to
cut the frame neck to make it really short.

Wow. All these rumours about me Actually, you're right.

Had to sell the telescopic coker as I was too tall to ride it with
125mm cranks

I have a Nimbus 36. Yes, Roger had to do some fiddling about with it so
that it would fit me *but only* because I have a T7 handle. Without the
T7 handle (at 5'2) I would have been tall enough to ride the Nimbus
with 125mm cranks without any reajusting. Probably would have been too
short with 150mm cranks.

So I would say that at 5 foot 2 you could ride any 36er with 125mm
cranks. You might have to have it slightly cut down if you want to ride
on 150mm cranks. But you might not, because it all depends on how long
your legs are in respect to the rest of your body. I have very short
legs. So, for you, any 36er may be fine.
