Hi,

I'm looking for a bike for herself. Ideally fairly new with Tiagra groupset (or even Sora). For a girl but doesn't have to be a specific ladies bike. Look on Donedeal and Adverts, nothing really jumped out. budget is no more than 600.

thanks!

Thanks I looked at the size, she's smaller than 5ft 4, I actually need to get herself sized up again, she was on a 52cm and it's too big for her, so not sure what size with suit her now.

my gf is about 5'5, she has a road bike measured at 53.5cm bottom bracket centre to top and 54cm top tube which is a bit large for her. I've change the stem to a 60mm one but still get complaint.
the seat post is all way down so that she can touch ground with one feet flat.

We recently bought a 50cm BB to top 52cm top tube frame which is about the size competitive cyclist recommanded.

Body proportion has a big factor on it, this link might do some help.

I'm 5ft4 and all my bikes are size 49 - 51.8cm top tube (for some manufacturers with women's bikes I would be around a 51).
