Haven't owned a bike in 20 years and looking to get started again, at this point looking for a good entry lvl platform to get started again and since I know this sport can get very expensive, I'd rather not spend too much at first... think of it like this, "I wouldn't want to learn how to drive stick on a ferrari, rather get a hoopty that I can beat up get my skills up, then upgrade to a serious bike."
BTW, I am short 5'5" with a 29" inseem and I and my wife don't want to destroy my manhood if you get my drift.... so is this a decent size frame (is it considered medium)?

(detail info on parts and frame).
I won't be going nuts and finding any major drops or trails for this bike, my concerns are possibly parts used and weight of the bike, and bike frame size given my height any useful advice would be greatly appreciated.
