A centimetre taller than me, the bitch. So she just shades 5 7" but with a natural concern of standover height and frankly quite short arms compared to a bloke I went for a compact frame. My Olmo is 53.5 seat tube and 54.5 top with a 100mm stem and the reach is a real struggle for her, so shorter top tube and a town bar/90mm stem combo and I reckon we'll be on the money. Can always tweak a bit.
Oddly the geo is so different to my bike with a high bottom bracket so the standover difference is only about half a centimetre lower in spite of the 52cm seat tube, but her inseam is greater than mine so all should be ok.
I like measurements, the world works just fine if you measure stuff.
