skipperw Posted February 25, 2010 Share Hi all My missus is 6' tall. Would she need a specific bike for female geometry or should she look at a 18" mtb bike or larger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted February 25, 2010 Share Id say she needs a 19''. But get her measured. And dont let someone talk you into buying a womens specific bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted February 25, 2010 Share Depends on the brand of bike.18" isn't the same from one bike to the next. Ladies generally need a shorter top tube than men, so keep that in mind. As Mud Dee says, get measured up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, this "W" appended to some ranges is just a moneymaking and marketing thing... Just get the right saddle, and she's A for away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted February 25, 2010 Share Hi all My missus is 6' tall. Would she need a specific bike for female geometry or should she look at a 18" mtb bike or larger? You can measure her inseam lenght so long...... you may want to klap the guy at the LBS if he tries to get familiar with the missus!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
