New Bike Help Needed!
Looking to get a mountain bike (always looking for new bikes of course) but due to lack of space looking to get one to share with my good lady so we can ride together but then I can use it at times too.
The issue is that i am 6ft and she is about 5ft 6 - any advice on bikes that would fit the bill? My though was to get one that is perfect for her and just adjust the seat post for me (or get a longer one so we can have seperate saddles too (she will want comfort whereas I prefer pain of course))?
All help greatly appreciated!

Have the adverts taught you nothing? What she really wants is a Peloton bike.
Get one that fits her perfectly as you'll still be able to ride it (though not very well as it'll be too small and I doubt that the saddle will go high enough to compensate). When she becomes a MTB fanatic, turn round and say that you need to get your own bike now.
But you won't be able to ride with her if you've only got one bike - ?!
Or maybe you need something more like https://swishcycles.co.uk/product/lapierre_tandem_vtt/
I have a road bike, this one is for her to ride with me now and again and me to rideto work when weather is bad!
