Looking to get a drop-bar bike for my partner, who's 5'1", mostly for commuting, but perhaps eventually for trail riding and maybe some road use. I'd think a CX bike would be the best horse for the course, but perhaps a hardtail or gravel might also do the trick?
Should we look mostly for 650c bikes, or could 700c work as well? Don't think she's that interested in doing TT/Tris, so aero concerns are not an issue here.
What brand actually make 650c CX bikes? Or is this veering into custom geo territory?
edit: changed to reflect the fact that i'd have a much better chance finding something in 650b
