...Oh, her jeans just mean her waist. Doesn't help you at all. Although, measuring the length of the legs on her jeans might help.
I'll keep that in mind. Plus it will give me an indication what is good and what is wrong with the geometry of her current, and what to look for in a new frame.

jeans have two numbers, one is the length and one is the width. I mentioned the length.

[QUOTE=wavedancer;577691]I am about her size, and is challenging to find a cross frame that fits! You might want to check out Ridley, as they have some frames in extra small sizes. She will probably need to have smaller wheels also. I use 26 inch wheels on my Terry Valkyrie. You might be able to get just the frame from Terry, if you want to build the bike yourself. I got the complete bike from them and my BF built it up. Terry's prices have gotten quite high, however.

Ridley Crossbow

The Ridley looked very nice, it wasn't trouble finding the frameset either. Best one so far. Now I just have to figure out if the geometry is right. Thanks!
