Thoughts on 13 inch frame?
Tomorrow I'm going for my second test ride on a 13" Trek 7.5fx wsd. I'm 5-2 and have been searching for a bike seemingly for ages. Most folks have put me on a 15 or 16" frame and it's never felt quite right. I felt more comfortable riding the 13" than any of the other bikes I've test ridden, but I sure never thought I was so small as to need the littlest frame (oh no, maybe I'm shrinking!:eek: ).
Is there anything special I should consider with the 13"? Steering? Toe overlap? Room for water bottles? I seem to remember some discussion about smaller bike frames, but can't find the threads.
Thanks, Cathy
