870.0. "Small Me - Small Bike" by USACSB::SCHORR () Thu Sep 15 1988 20:08

    I am trying to get back into bicycling after a long time off.  I
    have been looking for an ATB the problem is that I need a small
    men's frame.  I am short and when I standing over the frame on a
    18" I am sitting on the bar.  I will probably need a 16" but there
    aren't many out there.  Anyone know of a 16" fame other than GT
    and Trek (some models)?
    
    Thanks,

870.2More that I imaginedUSACSB::SCHORRFri Sep 23 1988 14:4711
    Thanks,
    
    I will have to get a copy of the buyers guide.  I have only been
    able to find 1 store that stocks 16" bikes and they only had 1 TREK
    and 1 other 16" bike in stock.  Its frustrating,  Maybe I'll just
    look around when I'm in Mass.  (Usually every other week).
    
    Thanks again.
