Anyone have a small lopro frame or complete bike you'd be interested in selling?

Something suitable for someone who is 5'5"

Hi Colenel,

I have a 54 steel lo pro conversion. Curved top tube, 650 front wheel. Considering selling. Can pm you pics later tonight hopefully.

Just came across this and curious about the whole sizing thing. I have happily ridden 54cm on tours abroad with bikes provided - I am a lady at 5'5". I want to get a new bike and keep being told that I should be on a 52 max and a ladies too which is a smaller feeling frame. I currently have a 54cm ladies Marin Fairfax which feels small. Does anyone have any advice on how to choose?
Thank you!

I saw this the other day, and thought it was a bargain. Looks like it's sold now though http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=162404

I highly doubt a 54cm frame could be too small for you! when on the saddle and the pedal is all the way down you should have only a slight bend in your knee. Also the saddle should be a good few inches high and not slammed all the way as far down as it can go..

saddle roughly just below belly button too as a very rough guide

best of luck..

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:

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

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