Hi everyone!
My partner and I are starting to put together some touring bikes for a (very) long tour we're going to be setting off on in a couple of years. We want to start off with some decent old steel mountain bikes. The problem we're having is finding a decent frame that's small enough for my partner: she's around 5'2" so I think we're looking for a ~15" frame? (She tried a 16" stumpjumper the other day and the distance between the headset to the saddle was too big - we think we'd want something around 52cm horizontally from headset to seat post).
I was wondering if anyone on here might have something that would fit the bill?
As we're not 100% sure of the size it'd be good for her to be able to give it a test ride, so if anyone does and is based in the South East (we're in Brighton) that'd be ideal... Otherwise we'll be making trips to Oxfordshire and Wiltshire over the next month or so so that might work too.
Thanks a lot!
Chris
