I'm looking for a front-suss only bike (hardtail does not read quite right) for my partner who is 5ft 2 and regular/below average weight for her height. The budget is £500 (absolute max) as she already has a bike. Duties will be light as we'll be based in the Bournemouth/New Forest/Purbecks area. Any suggestions? Anyone got anything appropriate for sale?

im 4ft 11 inches and have the same problem to get a bike to fit me.... bought my first hardtail 3 years ago under 500 quid but upgraded the front sus to beefier forks a few months later..... that bike is a specialized Myka Elite which i bought from Leisurelakes bikes....
7 months ago i felt i need a full sus, and went the whole hog and hubby splashed out on an Orange Five Pro for me....this bike is 14 inch frame and thats final for height wise.... have tried 15 inch frames but they are too big...
