A runner friend of mine would like to get into tri's, but she is (like I was) on a tight budget.  She's about 5'2", so small frame sizes are preffered  image  Thanks all!!!

    Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly!  Turns out she is 5'3" so maybe this could work.  I will pass along the info and put her in touch with Paul if she is interested.  Thanks again!!

    Julia,

    I have Joanne's 48cm bike hanging in the garage. Calfee, carbon frame. I picked up for her as a trade out on some coaching. Hasn't been touched in ~7yrs . 650c wheels, I think it may be missing a saddle but otherwise good. I'll have to take a look when I get home.

    Rich - oh that is fantastic too!  48cm probably more in her range.  I am making her go to a bike store this week and ride around on some frames to see what will fit.  Do let me know what you find when you get home!  Thanks so much!!

    Once your friend has a bike frame size it will be easier to look for a bike, because you can post a request with specifics. I think a 54cm bike might be to big for her.

    Julia,

    Sorry for the delay, I just checked the bike. It's missing a seat post, saddle, and pedals. Pretty sure I have a saddle and some old-style Look pedals around somewhere, though she may want to start with flat pedals and work herself up to the clipless of her choice? And I can get a hold of a seatpost for her.

    Thanks Rich!  She is definitely more interested in the 48cm frame.  I will check to see if she is interested in the look pedals or if she wants to start with flat.  Let me know what you might want for it (maybe via PM...? I dunno what's best)  Thanks!

    Hey Rich - she is going to do the flat pedals for a while longer.  She's a smart cookie about taking it one step at a time like that.  image  (unlike I was!)
