I've been replacing components on her old Giant Innova hybrid with the plan being buy a LHT frame for X-mas and switch all the new stuff over to that. Sneaky, huh? The problem is I want it to be kind of a surprise so I need help figuring out what size LHT to get her.
She's 6'1" tall with long legs--she always has to special order "long" pants from J Crew, Banana Republic and the like. Her mens jeans are a 34 length. So, should I get a 60 or 62 for her? Any special considerations with sizing a frame for a woman as opposed to a man? Also, she's more of an upright rider so I'll probably err on the side of shorter top tube if its a close call. Thanks!
Save for a custom. Stock LHT geometry is going to be very hard to fit that body.
