50/52 cm bike wanted

[Gowest]

Hi all - I am looking for a bike for a friend - my needs are:

1) 50 or 52 cm
2) Double or Triple
3) WSD would be great, but not necessary
4) Preferred color is blue or pink - would consider others
5) Entry or mid-level components (shimano preferred)
6) Frame only would also be OK

Let me know what you have or know of that is available - my BF is looking for a bike for his 10 year old 5' 3" daughter.

How does he know she'd take a 50-52 cm bike? I'm just half an inch shorter than her and ride a 44 or 46 cm....I am sure she's got a long ways to grow, but still, 52 cm?! I wouldn't even be able to stand over that one. And if she's "all legs", then she's probably got a short torso so WSD would be even more important. Even though she's a child, I'd suggest to your friend to get her to an LBS for a fitting and not buy her bike over the internet unless he's really sure it will fit properly, based on said fitting.

Good luck!

We know because last year she rode a 50 cm borrowed frame. As I said earlier, she is 5'3" and still growing. We both ride a lot and feel comfortable sizing her on a bike. Thanks for your opinion/input.
