I know what you're saying. When you want a road/track frame with a horizontal tt, it's a tough call, especially when it's a surprise and they can't go and testride anything first.

I've been going through that, as I've been gathering parts for a ss build for my gf, who's also about 5'3". She's ridden an old Shogun ss conversion a few times, that my friend built with a coaster brake wheelset, and seemed to enjoy that.

Besides the sizing issue, trying to figure out what gearing to go with is also somewhat confusing. What are the girls in here or your gf's running or planning to run? I'm debating 46x20 or 46x22.
