15" or 17" - Which one for a woman 5'5" tall?

Get the 15". The tires are pretty big, so you will be farther from the ground than with smaller wheels.

I am 5' 4" woman and I bought the 15 inch Vital Two. The 15" should be the fit you want.

Boy, it depends on body proportions. I am just 5'3", but I have long legs for a short girl. I like a 31-32 inseam in pants. I like my 15" bike. I would venture to say that the 15" is probably well suited to a 5'5" woman. When I stop, I land on tip toes, so I think at 5'5" the 17" bike would still be too tall to navigate easily.

Well I am 5'4 and weigh 125. I purchased the 18 inch Wich has more than enough room. Could have easily gotten away with the 16"! They are very roomy and comfy :-) I hope this helps.

Cheryl,I think you should go up. I'm 5'6" and I have the smallest frame available. Good luck in your choice!

My wife is 5'1 and found it comfortable. You can easily adjust it for your height.

My mom was about the same size. The smaller 16 inch was perfect for her. At 5 foot 5 inches and 165 lbs. even I could sit comfortably in it. It beats the large instituional wheelchair she had before.

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 previously owned one for my 15 inch and it was snug. So I'm not sure a 17 would fit.

I think you'll be fine. I'm A 5-foot woman and my stepdaughter is 5' 8" -- we use the same thing with no problem.

I think 17 would be good. I'm 5'2. I got the 17" frame, and it's a perfect size for me!

The 19.5" is the height. The 17.5" is the width of the table top. I love this piece, it is well worth the money.

I am 5'4" and have not had any issues. I am sure you would be fine using it, and it is adjustable since you can always release/add air to your comfort.

It really depends on your laptop; I got the 17 inch because I'm buying a larger laptop and it's too large for my 15 inch laptop.

13/17 frame. Fits my 5'8 girlfriend perfectly. I think it would be comfortable for women 5'3" and taller.

Hi,Jan; I am shorter than 5' too and 17-18 " from the floor is a perfect position for this chair. Put small pillow on the back too.It will keep you straight. Natalia Chapin

Well...since I'm of the "more is better" persuasion, my knee-jerk answer is the 22lb. That said, though, I'm 5' 8" & 150 and the 17.6 works just fine. Of course, I haven't actually tried the 22lb, so can't say whether it might really be better and worth a couple of bucks. Hope that helps!
