Bob,

You might consider a bike with 650c wheels. The thing to watch out for are 650c wheel bikes with improper design. What is her inseam? Height? Is she going to grow out of the bike or is this her final size? What type of gearing do you expect to use?

LIGHTWEIGHT ,,how do you size a bike for someone who is long of leg and arm but short in body.Looks to me like she could straddle a 53/52 but a 53CM top tube would be a stretch. Hints and tips appreciated,I am thinking a 51CM with more post showing and a longer stem or a 53 or so with shorter
