Jitters Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hardtail? Full suspension? Price range? Used or new? They can be pretty hard to come by. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 It doesn't really matter that it's female specific, just get one that fits her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 small kona frames are always a good bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_gap girl Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I got a full suss last year i went through looking for female specific frames, i didn't like any of them so i just got my self a small mongoose teocali 08 full suss complete bike for £499 they do retail at £799 though. So maybe your just best getting a small frame size, depends on your hight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 It doesn't really matter that it's female specific, just get one that fits her.Nah, it's worth getting something women-specific if you can. There are loads of choices now so it shouldn't be much harder than finding a men's frame. Basically women have longer legs/shorter torsos than men, so a normal men's frame will feel too stretched out on a girl and won't be as fun as it should be. The other option is to buy a men's frame that's really small (and therefore short) and put a long seat post on it to raise the seat to a normal height.I would try the singletrackworld forum for a frame.
