so my wife is toying with the idea of a tri bike and might start looking over the next few months but I know the problem we are going to run into is shops actually carrying her size to test out the fit, feel, etc. She is small and rides an XXS Scott road bike and I have not seen most shops carrying bikes that small other than special order. Based on the geometry of her bike there are a handful of brands that "should" be close to fit but will be in the smallest size made (Speed concept WSD in XS, Felt B series in XS, Scott Plasma 20 in XXS, or a P2 in XS). I know with a computerized fit bike and looking at geometries we can figure out what "should fit" but we all know the feel of the bike makes a huge difference.

Anyone else have any issues with buying a bike with an odd size? Just curious to what you did. I am guessing shops are not going to want to order in a really small size if she doesnt buy it...
