She may do just fine on anywhere between 52-57cm frames, depending on the overall geometry for the specific model and manufacturer (head tube length and angle, seat tube angle and virtual top tube length). Why not have her sit on an Orca or Onix? That will at least put you in a ballpark for frame size. She can tell you what she likes or dislikes about the fit. Who knows, she may not need WSD geometry. Then you might have to use a longer stem or something if she really really wants the Diva.
I would absolutely LOVE to have her sit on an Orca or Onic or Diva, but no one is 200 miles from me has one (except me - my 51 Orca), which I'm raising the saddle on and having her sit on this afternoon. If anything, she'll need a short stem with her short torso. Just called Orbea and they steered me away from the Diva because they said the seat angle would be too steep for her long legs unless I moved the seat all the way back (which I could see doing and then compensating with a shorter stem). Anyone out there who has similar measurements (33.5 " inseam, short torso)? What are YOU riding?
