She's almost the same height as my husband, but her legs are quite a bit longer, so my guess is that she'll still like a WSD. They would certainly be worth a test ride anyway.
I'll let others recommend a frame size because I'd just be guessing!

I am only 5" 5.5' but my inseam is thisclose to 33 inches. It's interesting that our height difference is 4 inches yet our inseams are 1 inch. I'm planning to get a new bike and was told today that at 54 WSD would be my starting point. I don't know if there are any available (Trek 1.2) in WSD so I may go with a 52 cm in the mens version and adjust the front end of the bike accordingly.
HTH,

Very similar. (5'8", 33 inch inseam, 23 inch arms)
I have 52, 53, and 56 cm frames, and 20 inch frames.
None of my bikes are WSD.Last edited by KnottedYet; 06-11-2008 at 05:57 PM.

If I had to guess I'd say 56cm.
I'm 5'5" and my 54cm bike is 'almost' too big for me.Lisa
