Seeking recommendation for women's bike/frame 5'7" lanky body :-)
Hello. This might be the right forum for a question that probably gets asked all the time...I figured it's worth a shot.
Seeking recommendation for women's bike/frame. She is 5'7" (long legs) lanky body :-)
mandatory: disc brakes, steel frame, relaxed geometry

Say what you will about Specialized, but they recently did away with "women's specific" sizes and started offering a wider variety of sizes across the board, based on years of data from their proprietary fitting system in which they realized it wasn't a gender thing so much as a "people come in all sorts of different sizes" thing.

+1 on “women’s bikes.”
I would check out the Adventure Cycling reviews to see what steel disk bikes are available. I recently bought a Trek 520 disk frame, and I know that Masi, All City, Soma, and other makers offer steel with disks.
