Yes I know, I'm sorry, but I'm looking for a replacement and wondered which manufacturers small's come up truely small. I've always stuck with konas as they come up short: my wife's 5'4" and I'm 5'2". I've always fancied a patriot, but the sizing looks really long according to the website. Any suggestions?
The reason? I've just come back from the shed and noticed that my wife's 04 Stinky has a 2" long crack in the headtube. Going right through the external butting at the bottom race. Now she's not ridden it that hard, and at 7 1/2 stone you wouldn't have thought she could crack a headtube like that. She did have a couple of flat landings last time at chicksands, but nothing beyond the norm. It's still got the original headset in it, so it can't be due to a ham fisted replacement either. The pictures I took weren't very impressive either, sorry.
would fit the bill nicely (2 weeks' use - one very careful lady owner).
