The Change MTB frame in the smallest size looked to me as though it would have an acceptable standover height. But she would have preferred a Trek Verve 2 and a bike rack.
Trek Verve 2

The seller on my local website does have built up bikes for very good prices.

In fact, I am scratching my head as to how this below model can come with a Fox32 Performance and be cheaper than my gravel spec'ed bike.
If this was available when I was buying one, I'd have got it instead.
Well.. thats usually the woes of being an early adopter...
