looking to get a nice singlespeed frame that has the right geometry but in
a small size - Im 5ft 2"

currently riding and orange five (mens small) and an On One summer season that was SS. looking to get a frame that has the same sizing - these being head angle no more than 68 deg, seat angle 73 deg, top tube max 550mm and standover height no more than 700mm. Would
also like a steel frame... have been looking at loads of makes but nothing seems to fit!

Any suggestions out there? apart from getting a custom build

cheers

You're welcome to try Deb's Kona Unit for size. Might be a little on the big side but Mandi has ridden it before getting the Nunununuthingummywhatsitapeau.

Have you considered these

15 inch Orange P7 is nearly there with your measurements. Effective TT is 560mm though. Head tube is listed as 69 degrees, but I've heard they feel quite slack. Standover sneaks in at 697mm.

SC Chameleon is also nearly there, but standover is 716mm. Prolly down to the rather tall BB height of 13 inches, which I never liked on mine.

15.5" Dialled Love/Hate?

TT maybe a bit long, but with a 50mm stem??

I might get rid of my 29'r SS. Might be a tad big for you

Hairychested - nice! - but wrong colour... us girls are particular!

Rickos - good choice in the P7 - this one is on my possible list
standover should be ok as I had a superlight that was 708mm- slack is good
dont feel as inclined to go over the bars on the down bits
the only thing that is putting me off are the cable guides on TOP - no good on your thighs i find!

Teetoosugars - Love/hate head angle a bit steep at 71'

IHN - yep I think you are right there! just a touch too big...

thanks Guys - will keep looking - ideally want a SS specific frame with no cable guides - cheers for your input
