    Help choosing the right size for gf...

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I'm looking into getting a trek fx 7.2 wsd for the gf but I have no idea what size she is. She is 5'4 and i'm not sure of inseam. I'm thinking it's either 17" or 15" but i don't really know. Can any ladies out there that are around 5'4 tell me what size their bike is? Thanks.

    Take her to the bike store and have them fit her to a bike. Otherwise, she will be unhappy with the fit.

    If you are wanting to make a gift or surprise of it I suggest making her a handmade gift voucher from yourself saying something like "the bike of your choice".

    Will save a lot of issues.

    Nice bike! You're going to need to take her in for a fitting. If it's a surprise, make the trip a surprise, not the bike. Regardless, hope she loves it if you both decide to purchase it.

    I like this!

    What everyone else says. She needs a fitting. Height and inseam are only part of the equation.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
