The ex wife has got in touch with me as she wants a new bike. Which quite frankly serves her right for not taking my advice a year ago and buying one from Halfords.
So being a nice chap I said I'd help her, however her budgets are a bit short for buying new so I'm looking for good second hand. Obviously going dwn that route severely lessens the chance of finding a female geometry frame.
So what companies do frames with a short top tube length? The reason being that she has very long legs for her height and my bikes feel like a stretch for her in terms of reach though they fit me perfectly.
A few of her mug pals are telling her she needs a large male frame because of her height but now I've explained to her why that wouldn't really work she's kind of put the onus on me to make suggestions.
I've posted this in off topic as well but suddenly realised it makes more sense here.
