My daughter rides a 90's era Terry and loves it (she's about 4'11). She found it used on the Terry web site forums. I thought Terry was the only one to build bikes this way until I found my wife's bike on eBay (she's also height deprived). It's a NOS late 80's Miyata 615. They had a small frame that used a 24" wheel in front, 27" in back. A little odd looking but it has a real sweet frame. Both these bike designs work great for short female riders.

The reason for the smaller wheel in front is so the frame could be built small enough, with a short enough top tube, without having a larger wheel hitting the frame.
