Quickie bike size question

[Lord Pikey]

Good morning all,

http://2014.konaworld.com/coco.cfm

in small / 42cm


Do you think this will fit my other-half who is about 170cm ish. It might be a tad on the small size but im wondering if a longer stem would make it fit

im 50/50 at the moment, im wondering if it might be a little crampt

Any advice would be great

Impossible to tell really as we don't know if your partner is all legs and little body or perhaps has arms like a gorilla .

Given the type of bike it looks like you will ride quite upright so longer frame with shorter stem might help rather than feeling like you are perched on top of the bike with your weight over the front end.

That makes a fiar bit of sense. She has longish legs and arms for her height, gangely is another word for it. Im thinking it might just be too small

Can't see the size mattering much for that style of bike.

Right, Ordered at risk after measuring several bikes in the bike racks outside. As usual it varies between manufacturers a lot so lets see how it turns out.
