Would the 17 inch frame be too small for a 5' 8" lady?

I would go to a LBS and get fitted before buying any bike. Take that from someone with experience making mistakes when I bought this bike.

No, she isn't too tall. I am 5'9" and my wife is 5'8". We own a matching pair of these bikes and there is plenty of room to adjust the seat and handle bars.

My wife is 5' 3". I bought a 15" for her. It fits just fine. A 17" would have been too large for her.

Ideally, you probably want a 17.5" frame. Since one is not offered, you should be able to move the seat up enough to compensate for the slightly smaller frame. I have the same pant length and fit the 17" frame just fine. The 19" frame would almost certainly be too big for you.

I am 5'8" also. I think it is perfect. The seat can get a little uncomfortable on a long ride but that's nothing that can't be fixed with a better seat.

My GF is your height and I bought her the 17in, with the proper set adjustments, a proper fit is definitely possible

It might be a little small. I am 5'3" and I can ride it, easily. That said, I do prefer my larger framed women's bike, as it allows the reach and downhill riding position much easier than it would on this frame. Most women's bikes look like they are men's bikes, have you looked at those, too? (Oh, one note to mention: this bike comes with a really pretty silver flower handlebar wrap that I loved, however it was the first thing my son demanded get changed, lol)

I am almost 5'8" and the bike is almost too small for me. I can't exactly say how it would work for someone who is 5 feet tall. Sorry.

The frame is definitely bigger than 16", I am 5'6" and I have to work a little to get on the bike! I would think it would work for someone your height, but not positive.

No it won't be. The frame is adjustable and can fit someone much shorter than you. I am 5'7" and it fits me great. Buy it, it's a great package.

I believe it's a 55 or 56 cm frame. If you are 5-8 to about 6 feet tall, it should fit fine.

I am an adult and under 200 lbs. However, I'm 5'8". Would this be too short for me or are the handlebars able to be raised?

I am 5'8, that was a concern of mine when I was shoping for a fold up bike. Since I've bought the bike I never really thought about that concern. I have never had a problem.

I'm 5'7". The frame on this bike is approx. a 16" frame, which is perfect for me. It may be a bit too small for you. For your size I would suggest a bike with a larger frame, say a 19" or so. While the handle bars are adjustable, and the seat is adjustable, the frame would seem very small to you I think.

No. In fact, I think you would find it a better fit than my 5'5" frame when it comes to laying down on it.

I have a 58 frame and I'm 5'8" it is too big for my height. I still ride and love this bike.

No, not at all. I am 5 foot tall and it's a great bike! Not too large at all. I really enjoy the bike, you won't be sorry if you get it.
