Default Bike for my fiancee

Ok so i'm not a female myself, but i am looking to buy a new bike for my fiancee. here is the problem, she's only 5'4". this makes finding the right fit for her exremely difficult. i've given her my old giant tcr 0 for now, it's a small (44cm) but the top tube is too long to give her proper positioning. does anyone have any ideas as to where i can find one that will fit her? or do i have to custom order her one.

This isn't uncommon, she is a Female and we normally have longer legs and shorter Torso's...

Try Trek, they have WSD (Women's specific design) Bikes...also, Cannondale etc etc.....

Good luck!!

I'd have to vote Trek as well. I just reciently sold a 16.5 inch Trek 4500 (I'm about 5'6)

Trek makes even smaller ones then this though. Give them a lookie!
