Well that makes sense since she had a birthday while
on vacation

Koffee,
Leg extension can be handled with either crank lenght
or raising seat. If you feel cramped in your extension
on the frame (reach to bars) maybe its time for a new
ride.
I know my Serotta has a longer top tube than my trek
(same seattube lenght) and the Serotta is much more
comfortable, the trek just feels cramped.
