26er & 27.5 (650b) / Re: Smallest Carbon HT Frame
« on: June 19, 2014, 08:00:53 AM »
Carbon_dude, that is my plan. When i mentioned 550mm or less that was already factored in.
Her current bike is a 15+ year old 16" cannondale with a 510-520mm eff. TT(kind of hard to get this measurement exact). And a 90mm stem. So my thought was i could gain roughly 30mm going to a 60mm stem.
Yeti's new Carbon Arc comes in an xs size(14") with pretty good geom, but frame alone is $2000.
Kind of weird, but Trek's Cali is a 29" bike and they make it in a 14" size, reasonably short top tube. Don't know how they make that happen with a 29" wheel.
Maybe biased, but for a short person, the 27.5 seems like a good wheel size.

Just got the tt length on that 27.5 frame, size 15.5. TT length is 570mm, way to long for my wife.
I'm not sure it is a matter of time. I think the frames are getting to be a little larger on the small end and little smaller on the other end. Probably to accomodate most, but not the real short or tall.

I have been working with bella at xmiplay. They had a 27.5 IP-127 that came in a 15". However it has been discontinued. I sent her an email about the IP-196SL.
They are very responsive in answering emails.

Looking for a 27.5 Carbon HT Frame for a bike for my wife.
She is sub 5' and needs a pretty short TT.
Seems like all of the frames are getting bigger, longer top tubes.
Would prefer 15", 550mm or less top tube.
Any suggestions?
thanks
