    Looks like I might be selling my 2011 Trek Fuel Ex 8 that I bought last July. Its a 17.5 in size. All stock execpt I upgraded the tires to knobby tubless kendas, I'll throw in the perfectly good original set as well. $1800 is what I'm asking.

    Well if you don't mind something a little older I have a raleigh M800 from 1998ish that is in pretty good shape, put a new fork on it 3 years ago and converted the front to vbrakes. Its either a little bigger or more of the old stretched out riding style so it fits more like an 18.5. If she is 5'6" or taller it could work for her. I'd sell that one for $100.

    2008 Giant Cypher (women's specific -- I am 5' 6") full suspension, low miles, Fox fork that has been Pushed, Hayes Stroker disk brakes. Excellent bike but just can't seem to get away from riding my hardtail. $850 firm.

    Oooh, I got an old Trek mtn bike a couple years ago from Pags to use for taking newbies out riding. It served its purpose well in being a loaner to take new people out riding. My garage is full. $150. Let me know if you want to see it. PM me.

    Are any of these (under $200) bikes still available? I just want an entry-level one myself. Need some cross-training from my regular running routine!~

    I have an old Trek 4300 (I think that's the #) that would fit someone around 5' 6". New seat, new stem, rim brakes. PM if you want to see it, include email and i can send you pictures.

    I've got a complete 19.5" Columbia Trailhead complete in the shed, as well as a 15" 2011 Raleigh Eva 4.0 frame in the basement. Someone can have both for $100 then piece together a small womens bike or large mens bike from the parts.
