Well... Mrs. Hippie is on board with the triathalon idea. She can swim but she can't run and hasn't done any biking except mtn biking.

We need to get her a cheap roadie (pref. used) so she can start putting in some miles.

How do you
1- Determine frame size for a road bike?
2- Determine frame size for a woman?
3- Find a cheap used road bike?

I forgot to add... My wife can ride the same road bike I ride but the top tube is too long for her... Does this mean she's going to have to step down a frame size and just raise the seat?
