Nope. The tandem is the proper size for her. In fact, I was rather surprised that tandems came in a stoker size that was actually her size. She rides a 43cm road bike with 700C or 26” wheels. This frame is the same size. She has about as much seatpost showing as I do and the captain frame is exactly my size.
