Yeah, when I was shopping I swear 99% were 48-52cm. Worse, you had to follow a link to the CL ad just to find out they were ... Um ... "size challenged". So I'm just grateful when people put a size in their OBRA post!!

No, they're all not that big - the women's bikes are usually much

One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.
