If I recall correctly from our meet last Friday, a 48 or 50cm should work for her. How tall is she anyway? Fixies could be bad for your knees so maybe consider something else on the safe side. Also check out BikesDirect.com for their fixies. (not local.) It's going to be pretty hard to find a fixie for $350 locally.
I asked her to stand over the top tube and she was aaaaalmost flat on both feet. She's exactly 5'3". I wish there was a 50cm but they only came in 48 and 53 =/ We like how it rides and how light it is etc so I think we'll stick with fixies lol. Thanks bcrdukes!
