Wanted: Cyclocross bike for 5ft rider

Miranda, that's the same bike I'm nudging my best friend towards. She'd love to get into cycling, doesn't have much budget, and lives out in BFE with more unpaved roads than paved.

Just finding this post... hope it's still timely for your friend's bike shopping...

I think it would serve her well for a first bike and riding conditions. The bike was mostly assembled, and needed some adjustments. If there is a buddy who does their own wrenching, that would help a newbie.

For the price, it's really a great bike... the blue is also absolutely stunning in person, on an aesthetics side note.

Great to hear! No worry, she's not actively shopping, just thinking really hard about it.

As summer draws to an end sometimes things go even more on sale, internet and lbs, so hope she finds a great deal.

I got a Specialized Crux for my birthday. The xxs fits! I"m actually 5ft .5 inch for any of you other ladies in the same position as me.
