27.5 hardtail - suggestions for frame

[m!le90]

Hello,

I am looking for a 27.5 hardtail frame. Any ideas for a decent quality frame?
I plan to build it for my girlfriend - height 158 cm. Currenlty she is riding and old 26er. I think that 29er would be "too big" for someone of her height. Or am I wrong?

Ideas, suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Last year I bough "Irefox 27.5 aluminium frame" on Aliexpress for my GF, size M was the only one available.
My GF is 164cm and it fits her fine, but for a smaller person, maybe you would need something smaller.
Frame cost me $135 delivered.
I used some spare parts, that were laying around my house, to build the bike, and it ended up looking really nice.
And which is most important, GF likes it a lot...

Frame is built very well, especially considering the price.
Only downside, no holes for the bottlecage... which I later solved by drilling some holes and placing rivet nuts in the downtube.
Later I also found a cheap set of 160mm cranks and that made a big difference for her comfort.
