I have the 24" and am on the short side at 5'7" and it fits great. Never thought twice about it once I got it (and I way overthought it before ordering, and was put off by this the longest time till I rode someones Jones). This is from a dirtrag article, I'm sure Jeff has some blurb somewhere as well":
"Though Jeff ‘s claim of proper fit for riders 5’5” to 6’2” may seem dubious, I now believe it to be valid for the vast majority of people. As rider height increases the virtual seat tube slackens to accommodate taller riders, and conversely steepens for shorter riders. In conjunction with a longer or shorter stem, the rider’s fore-aft weight distribution remains similar, regardless of height. For perspective, Jeff designed this bike around his six-foot self."
