Had another chat about this last night.

A chunkier 26" would let her swap in her current light wheels (Olympic/XT), but only if the dropouts are 100QR and 135QR, which is quite limiting. Rotor sizes would also need to match.

More ebay browsing expected...

I've got a burlyish 26" wheel frame going spare. 16" with a 1.5" headtube

Same geo as a Soul but in alu. Could get away with a 130mm fork, and takes a 2.4" at the back.

I suppose the issue is finding a 100qr fork these days...

If 16" is what you are after, you can clear it out of my spares bin :)

She's 5'10", the 17" Voodoo is a smidge too small, "17.5" Genesis is about right (80mm stem but sweep bars). Was looking at 18"/Medium frames

Seen an 18" Soul 853 frame on t'bay...
