I have both a Rambouillet and a custom Luna, both beautiful bikes, both

Though my husband's two Rivendells fit him perfectly, my Ramb is not a
perfect fit for me, thus i got a custom Luna from Margo Conover, which
fits me like a glove and is supremely
DOH! thanks for the spell checker Lynne!

Apologies to Miz Ramsland about that malapropism her bikes are indeed

Another plug for Luna Cycles, our local (Santa Fe, NM) builder.
Margot just did a repair of a frame from me, and I had a chance to
look at some of her work. Really nice! Also rode into work this week
with a very happy customer riding some kind of nice looking Luna
commuter rig.

I doubt a SweetPea bike would be any cheaper than a Luna, plus the
waiting list could well be longer.
Lovin' my Luna.mm

Thanks to all who replied. I've passed the info to my friends.
Those Sweatpea bikes are nice!

Hi Aaron,
My wife is 5'2" and looked a LOT of bikes before finally getting a
50cm Saluki.
She liked the Jamis Satellite Femme and Specialized Dolce for fit, but
wasn't too fond of the skinny tires. I think the Jamis had some sort
of rack/fender issue too, but I don't quite remember. The
48cm Sam Hillborne? Possibly outside their price range, but a big problem
people make is getting too cheap a first bike, then having to re-invest with
a better second bike. The top tube might still be too long for them, but if
not, the rise on it could allow them to fit a smaller frame.

Aaron-
Rivendell has 50 and 52 cm Rambouillets in their frame specials
sections. My wife, who is a little taller than your friends, recently
got one of the 52's after a long look for a versatile road bike that
would fit her without toe overlap or other issues (she is relatively
short waisted and
The Jamis Quest Femme and Satellite Femme, both steel, might be worth
looking at. Both bikes are on the Jamis website, www.jamisbikes.com.
Good luck.

A frame that fits 650c wheels will easil

I don't think a custom bike for someone just starting out is the way
to go- unless they need it, can afford it, and/ or want it. My wife is
5'3'' and has two Bianchis-- both steel. The first is a 49cm Volpe
(touring-ish bike) and a 47cm Veloce (road bike). They both have 700
wheels. The 47 is prob

That's a tough question. I remember shopping for a new bike with my
daughter who is 5'5" and we never saw a decent road bike that fit her
on the floor of a bike shop. She ended up ordering a small SOMA frame
from a one man shop with the skill and knowledge to make sure it was
what she needed fit
