I need an extra-small bike for my extra-small girlfriend, and I haven't seen a lot of small bikes out there. Anybody know of anyone interested in upgrading soon and selling their 44cm bike? I am looking for something with a compact double, and 105 or Ultegra. Please let me know if you come across one, not too excited about paying $1200 for a new bike with Tiagra.

Thanks!

This frame may be way, way, way too small, but depends on how everyone is measuring.

Wow - this frame looks great. A bit tricky to tell in the picture - but it looks like it might have horizontal drop-outs, so would be great to convert to a fixie or have as a road bike.

Another idea - I found some new/old stock Cannondale R800 frames (mine is polished aluminium). I am about 5' & it fitted me perfectly - of course it takes 650c wheels. I've got a Serotta now (size 46p) so am looking to sell the Cannondale frame - only problem is, it's in London . . . But you might well find one in the US.

I have a bike I will be selling, but it's too big for your gf.

Couple other ideas of places to post your wanted add also might be:

Terry Bicycles web page, they have a forum and for sale section
http://www.terrybicycles.com/

Bike Forums
http://www.bikeforums.net/

LBS or local independent bike club's sometimes have free ads

Craig's List or Ebay

I usually end up paying full price for my stuff, then end up seeing the great deal after I've spent my money *sigh*. Good Luck!
