I would guess it would be 54cm or up. 54 might be slightly too small
bluesky ,I would suggest your max frame size is going to be the 54 .From what i`ve read womens frame sizes for 5`7" tall would be 52 to 54 , the Triban is available in 51 or 54. Cheers
I am looking at the Triban 3 as my intro into road bikes.
At 5'5 with about 291/2" inside leg, would a 51cm be about right for me.
For info re womens bike sizes.
Compared to men, women and children (especially young girls) have shorter arms and longer legs. This means that they will have a slightly different fit on a bike, particularly on road bikes.
An easy rule of thumb for women and children is as follows: If you fall somewhere on the border between two bike sizes, go with the smaller size. It's easier to control a smaller bike, and the saddle height can be increased easily. Also, realize that stand-over height will be more important for female and younger riders than will top-tube length.
If necessary, women and younger riders can change out the stem on their bike to a shorter stem, which will bring the handlebars closer to the rider, and can change out the handlebar for a narrower bar that better matches their shoulder width.
