Mary is about 5ft2 and rides a 49cm surly with 700c wheels.
The frame is more like a 47cm c to c.www.thehubcycles.co.uk for a photo (custom paint job)
If you are after a small lady specific bike. IRO do the Heidi, which is a 650c only bike designed for ladies under 5ft3.... not sure if they are still avaliable though

She is on the forum as "Mary" - http://www.londonfgss.com/member1627.html
I have told her about this thread, so she may reply to this.
Also... a small note to add. The Surly was perfectly fine after her latest (hopefully last) run in with a car. Her old Dawes, which was of a similar size but with 650s, crumpled.
So I'm planning to build my girlfriend her first fixie and I want to surprise her with it. I'm not in any rush so I want to find the right frame most importantly. My girlfriend is about 5,4" so obviously most frames are going to be too big for her and I was wondering what would be a good size for her, I was thinking maybe a 650c setup..... I'd really appreciate some input from any ladies out there especially as they'll know what they like and what would suit better. I know Fuji made a 650c size frame but I was hoping to go for something in steel, frame condition doesn't matter as I plan to completely refinish it so if anyone can point me in the direction of something they think would be suitable I'd really be greatful,
Cheers Rik
