Should be fine for shore… I don't see why people think it wouldn't be. It's not that long… Same length as my VPS. I could see the sag being something to get use to but even then. **
Standing side by side they are, but when both bikes are sagged a V10 has at least 3" on your vps, nothing that cant handle to shore, hell when my bb7 sags the way I like it, it's as slack as a v10 but has a little shorter wheelbase.
Small BB7 is an option, I ride a regular and its setup the way I like it(im 6'3") but fits smaller pople easily too. maybe a small A-Line or Shore would do, even a small giant team dh is a good choice.
