Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Small track frames???

Ok im trying to find a track frame for my girl friend whose like 5'2" and a26" inseam. I know fuji made a 43cm but i dont think they have them in that size anymore. Also theres the brass knuckle that comes in a 46cm. What do you think would be a good fit and does anyone make a frame in her size?

Theres the IRO Mark V HD. Its super small iirc. Check their site.

All i see is the Mark V pro and the regular Mark V. another site?

ok just found on the site that hes selling these complete. Do you think hed sell just the frame. i sent him an email asking.

No idea but id think he would. If not then thats weird.

Also, im not sure how much youre willing to pay but there may be some new Vivalos in small sizes available soon from someone.

Yea id say the Mark V is more my price range. but thanks for the suggestions!

The Mark V HD sounds like a good bet. Just be aware that it takes 650c wheels. I know that both Alex and Velocity make good wheels in 650 size. you might have a limited tire choice, though.

The small wheel size is pretty sound, you can't design a frame smaller then 50cm around 700c wheels without cutting corners somewhere.

Ive been looking for a 55-56cm with no luck :( well one guy here on the forum offered me a frame for a decent price but I didnt have all the cash on hand, I have it now but the guy wont answer my emails and PMs. :( Im looking for a 55-56 lugged track frame if anyones got one :)

mark v hd and fuji track-se are the ones that come to my mind.

You might wanna be careful with those smaller frames i could imagine there could be some really bad toe overlap

55-56 is all i can seem to find. ebay, new, used shops-where are you looking?

motobecane messengers will be out soonish in smaller and 650 sizes.

Bummer. The smallest they had when I ordered was 49cm (which is a wee too big for me). 650 would've been cool too given the option.

that is a good point. I think she wants to ride it single speed anyway. so it may not be that big of deal.

I have to imagine that a lot of the toe overlap issue is countered by the 650 wheel size on frames that use them, though I can't say for sure as I've never ridden one before.

at 5'2 i think she could ride a 49cm

edit: there is a 43cm fuji fs on craiglist

She could probably fit on a 49cm, but she's have to compromise a lot that would be solved by simply buying a 650c frame.

55-56cm isn't exactly small. And according to a quick eBay search, there are 35 track frames in the 54-56cm range on eBay right now, more than any other size range.

TOny at IRO said that hes going to start offering the Mark V HD frame today.

Thanks everyone.

I'm 5'2" and I ride a small Giant Bowery. They come in XS too. I'm happy with the geometry for my tiny-ness. Soma makes a good small frame too.
