My short height (5'2")friend is riding a Bridgestone XO2 in the 42cm size, a 48 would fit, but only because of the 559 wheels. The one complaint about her current bike is that it is so heavy, especially in the back half (unloaded) She works in SF and her commute involves stairs and carrying the bike, it is unavoidable. She isn't really a bike person but has an appreciation for them.
First things first, does anyone have a clean 559 wheelset with wide rims sitting around? The frame is spaced at 130 but it could be cold set to 135 if needed. That might help. Recommendations or for sale frames size 559 or 584 that might be an improvement over her existing one? She rides with a rear rack and high up albatross bars and sometimes a front basket. It looks like as far as riv the clem in 45 might be a great fit but it is complete only is a little redundant for her because her bike now is mostly fine. The other models, are out of her price range. Thanks Jason SF,CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
