I am so happy for your wife! She's going to love that bike : ) I am so sad that they stopped making the Optimio not enough short people I guess . Also less and less people want 650 wheels. I plan on riding mine for years.

To make matters worse I rented a 49cm Fuji track bike today on 700c wheels it was a little big but it worked.....nothing that couldn't be fixed it I bought one.

You know just in case your wife wants to ride track, let her know she knows she has options ;)
