Er indoors 😉 rides a 2005 anthem.

[img] [/img]

one of these, but not that one. hers is a 14" frame.
She is currently running 100mm sids, a tiny short stem (40mm?) and a laid back seat post.
We are going to the alps in a month, and after yesterdays ride she was complaining she keeps clipping her pedals on things.

If i put my spare 100 - 130mm revs on it, will she die?

the frame is 85mm travel, and it would be fairly considerably over the "limit", but as i see it will have the following effects:

Slacker (always good)
Higher BB (also good, within reason)
Rake seat post back (correctable with an inline post?)

Any thoughts? one of those nice ladies specific 130mm frames would be good, but not sure i could get approval for that.
