Women’s bike sizing help

[paul__w]

My partner has saw a Trek bike she likes but we are unsure on sizing.

Charts suggest a medium frame for 5 foot 7 to 5 foot10 and a large frame for 5 foot 10 to 6 foot.

She is 5 foot 10 so right in the middle which leaves us unsure what she should get. The place also only has a large in stock.

TIA!

She’s my height, is it a roadbike? What one? What’s the top tube Length?

I would think in general, for a woman, a large would be too long reach wise, we generally have a shorter torso and longer legs compared to a man of the same height.

Better and easier to make a smaller bike bigger, but not so much the way other round

The bike is a Trek 2 disc stagger

Can she try out the large?
where’s her height? Legs or torso?

It’s an online delivery unfortunately since stock is so hard to find. She is more legs than torso.

Personally, I think it would be too big

We were thinking that. Many thanks for you’re help 👍🏼
