Hi all,

I'm trying to help my mountain-biking buddy start looking at road bikes, and while I know this is a question that only some test rides can really answer, I'm still going to ask, just to help her get in the right ballpark. Being a shrimp myself, I have no idea what size frames she might start looking at. I know manufacturers vary and all that (having had bikes of all different sizes myself!)

She's 5'-9.5" with a 34" inseam, and longish arms (23" from tip of shoulder to wrist). Anyone on here with measurements in that ballpark, and if so, what frame size do you ride? Does she sound like she'd even need to bother trying WSD with those measurements or just go straight for unisex frames sizes?

Thanks for your input!

Emily
