I have a female friend that is interested in learning to ride.....I clearly won't be providing any instruction since I still suck.
Anyway, she is around 5'4".....so maybe a small to medium would be ok. I am thinking hardtail, but if there is a modestly priced fs is out there, that might work too.
She doesn't have tons of cash to drop on a bike, so I figured I would see if anything used and in decent shape was available.
Let me know.
