Speccy Hardrock Ladies Sizing - Advice needed?

scoobasteve

Hi,

Hoping to get a rough idea of whether a bike is going to be suitable for my wife - have the chance of a '05 model Hardrock with 15" frame, more or less unused for 90 quid.

My wife is 5'7" and will only use the bike for jaunts with myself towing the trailer so roads/paths/solid tracks - will the sizing be suitable?

i know I'll not get a definitive answer but if their are any 5ft 7 girls out their riding a 15" Hardrock let me know!

Cheers

I doubt it will be too big from a standover point of view. But wheter the reach is ok, and she likes the set up is a different matter. If I had to put my neck on the line, I would say it would be the size to go for.

My wife has a 15" Hardrock (07 I think, might be 06) and she is 5' 1" (and a half!- the half inch is very important to her! )

So I would say the 15" would be OK, possibly a bit small, but the 17" might be too big. Too small is definitely better than too big - you can always get a longer seatpost and stem.

Best bet is to give it a try if you can.

Cheers folks, looks like it's not a million miles away from what she needs so i'll go for it and see how she gets on.
