Wanted: A fillet of bike for my wife

No way 50/52 - more like 53/54.

I'm a long-legged* 5'6.5", and I have one 52 and one 53.5 – she would need the bigger one if she's 5.7 with long legs.

*Sorry, that sounds really vain. But you know what I mean.

i know what you mean. we'll see. i've tried her on a 54 and she's too stretched out to reach the bars with the seat at the right height. unless it's a pretty compact geometry i think she'd be more comfortable on a 50-52 with the seat up a bit and a riser-ish stem arrangement. but we'll see.
