Thread drift...
A few years ago I was on a supported bike tour in Vermont. At dinner the first night, we all went around the table and introduced ourselves. The very nice lady sitting next to me, and with whom I had spoken earlier in the day, said, "My name is Georgeanna and I'm an engineer."
Yes it was her. My heart skipped a beat!

Thorn, I've watched most (maybe all!) of her videos, which I thought excellent.
I see the page has been updated with a 2009 Fast Woman. Out of my price range (should have asked for a more expensive wedding band
), but what a great deal for someone!
Oh, and another, an Isis Sport.

Oy. I couldn't justify the 2007 Isis....but a Fast Woman? Yummy! Hmmmm.... I wish I had endless $$ and a super huge garage! Originally Posted by owlice

I don't know whether this is feasible/wise, but.... could I put 650mm rims/tires on the 2002 Madeleine? That would reduce the height of the bike, enough for me to be able to stand over it. Is this a silly idea?

I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem feasible. A frame is designed with a specific wheel size. Change that; change the handling. Beyond that, even if it did work, you'd have to change out the brakes as you just shrunk the wheels.
No....IMO, better to sit tight and wait....your perfect bike is out there.
