We haven’t had luck trying out smaller/shorter frames because most dealers don’t stock them as they’re considered dead stock. Found a dealer with a 43cm Trek 1.2, but it was out of my price range.

My LBS sold me a used Cannondale Bad Boy hybrid in a petite size that my nephew really liked. The salesperson said it was fine but I thought it was too big because he didn’t have any clearance, but he was able to tip toe.

I really appreciated all the suggestions. Thanks.
