Looking for a bike for the missus

After watching the fun and games at the polo on Sunday, then seeing the mini yellow/pink fixed belonging to Baddesigner's lady, my girl wants to ditch her horrible Decathlon special and get involved

She's 5'5", with about a 30" inside leg, so I'm guessing that something like a 52-54cm seat tube would do the job?

So, does anyone have a bike/frame and forks for sale that's suitable? Don't want to spend a fortune on here first fixie, so we're considering anything.

I'm trawling the bay and all, but I thought I'd check here first...

i'm 5'7 got about 30" inside leg and ride 52 (track frame) and 54 (road frame), so size-wise would be perfect. unfortunately i dont have anything for sale at the moment...

I have this one

Its seatube is 54cm. What you see is what you get. The only problem being it takes 26inch wheels. But im sure there is enough clearence for 700's. You can have it for free but you'd have to collect it in Ipswich or pay for posting.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
