I am posting this for my wife and could use some help here. She got a bike about a year ago (Hybrid, step through girls frame...19" frame- 10.5" of seat post showing) and has been bitten by the bug, we would like to get her into something less park and trail and more for doing some greater distance, but have hit snag. She is 6" tall, and while she has small hands and feet (9.5 womens), she is all legs with a 35.5" inseam. Most of the company's that make womens geometry bikes do not make a frame that will accomodate her (I think at least a 58C is neccessary), so I am wondering what any tall women out there do? Funny- I am as hard to fit because I am short...neither of us can expect to ride at any bike store.
So do you just put skinnier bars and short reach levers on a bigger frame (and womens saddle), or have any of you found a height friendly womens frame/ bike
Thanks in advance
