Was it a Liv avail? They come up taller and shorter than the lagma. Better for people with longer legs than torso If it was, that’s a good indication she’d do well on a shorter stem How tall is she? An issue with teeny people like me is the seat post angle is steep. Throws you forward and onto 1/

It was a Lagma. She absolutely loved that bike, and the colours matched her shoes, apparently! 😂 She'd trade her Cannondale in for one tomorrow, but she won't pay out that much on a bike, and refuses to go back to an aluminium frame! I think we are close to getting the perfect fit, but not 100% yet

Your hands. Pushing the seat back can also help, but then that can also require an even shorter stem If you do change saddle setback, for every 6mm you go back, bring the saddle down 2mm to keep her leg extension the same
