Trek, You are only 5'1"!? I didn't realize that. Well, the bike i am looking at is a 48cm (my Bianchi is a 49cm and I am almost 3" taller than you. So I start to obsess..)
Do you have little feet?

7.5 in most shoes
38-39 in bike shoes
at times when my bike's been in the shop Chris puts me on a 50 cm Della Santa (he'll swap the stem so I can reach, such a great guy!)
uh oh, here's another bike

Knot, these are beautiful bikes, but nothing is said about designs for women.
I am warming up to the idea of buying a frame and as I can afford, start building it.
I've gotten lots of nice emails from the man in Connecticut.Last edited by mimitabby; 01-16-2007 at 05:27 AM.

If someone builds a custom frame to your dimensions, that'd be a design for women (woman) right? So maybe a full custom frame, custom paint job, custom specific components....
(just the devil on your shoulder, whispering into your ear! )
I think the Mondonico is your destiny. Italian, fully lugged steel, gorgeous, your size, made by Antonio. Plus then you and Trek could form your own little Mondonico sub-set in TE!

I believe you, Knot. I am waiting for the guy in COnnecticut to write back to me and tell me what kind of tires and fenders could go under one of those gorgeous columbus forks..
DH is okay with it.. Now if i could just use a layaway plan..

mimi - there's also elliot bay cycles near you. they build custom frames and i'm pretty sure they'd build up your bike near you. they seem like a decent shop. they are one of the few carriers for rivendell, anyway.

maybe you already have seen one in person, but looks like alki bike and board carries mondonico's in your area if you just wanna look and see and maybe ride one. course it prob won't be the same one but it's something to touch..
