Tri bike for a petite lady
Quote | Reply
My wife is in the market for a new tri bike - she is petite- 5'1" and currently rides a S25 but the top tube is a tad too long at 51CM - so we are looking for a carbon petite bike 48CM Max Down tube and about 50CM top tube - so any one have any suggestions please? Thanks in advance Graham

ShawnF is selling a Calfee Dragonfly (I think) frame that his wife used to ride. Tracy (she goes by T-Racer here on the forum) is 5'1 and pretty damned quick. It's a sick price on a sweet frame...

Check the Classifieds forum.

There are lots of choices out there. I ride a QR (duh) xs frame, some of the other shorties on ST ride felts, gurus, cervelos. I think there are more small frames available than there used to be.

Hi,
I am 5'0" and am selling my Griffen Vulcan. Top tube center to center is 47.5 cm (too long for me). It has 650 wheels and a carbon fork. Otherwise the bike is aluminum. I have other measurements if you are interested such as Seat tube center to center is 42.5 cm, Seat Tube Center to Top is 54 cm, Head Tube Length 100mm, Wheelbase is 91 cm, Crank Length 170 mm, STem Length is 70 mm, Handlebar width 42 cm. The bike is perfect for a petite woman (though someone taller than me....). It is a fast bike and would be a great entry level tri bike.

PM me if you are interested. I can ship as well.

GG

Can you hear me now?

Ah - well if it's new you're after, look at a 48 P2C or P3C.
