CX bIke for 5'2'' friend

[Tony]

Looking for a CX bike for a lady friend that's 5'2" tall built proportionately.
She's been riding her FS mtb on gravel, rode, and dirt and wants to move up to a XC bike.
I posted in the classifieds for a used CX bike, nothing yet.
This morning looking at some new bikes under $1500, any suggestions?
Below are some, thoughts?
Thanks

The Niner looks cool, but it's an adventure bike. The Masi will be heavy, which is of particular concern for shorter/smaller riders. The Cannondale is a great bike, and the alloy versions are good value.

I saw your WTB ad, but my Small Giant TCX Advanced would still be too big for her, and likely out of budget.

If she's a MTB'er why not build a light XC bike and swap tires?

Was just thinking that. Small MTBs seem to fit better than small road or cross frames.

See if Cyclicrossworld.com has any laftovers from their yard sale

You might have to call them M-F regular business hours I think

Ksitie Antonneau is pretty small and do are some if the Devo Team kids

Thanks all for the advise! I think she is sold on wanting a CX bike, and may be willing to spend more. So again any recommendation much appreciated.

No idea about the budget but you can get a nice diamond back haanjo like for 600 bucks and in your friend's size.

Maybe this one??? it comes in XS size aswell that might fit him better IMO.
