I can't find any cyclocross bikes for my wife. She is very petite. Any recommendations?
How petite is she?

Approx. 4' 9" and 95 lbs. She is in excellent physical condition, and exercises regularly, but is not a very skilled rider (bike can't be too sensitive or have quick steering).

Thanks for the Redline tip. Just checked out their web site and the components sound good, but I have ner heard of Redline before.
How would Redline compare to the better known manufacturers like Trek and Canondale?

rpr (and Mrs rpr hopefully by now?) "How would Redline compare to the better known manufacturers like Trek and Canondale?"
there's nothing wrong with Trek Canondale Specialized, love them love 'em....and they can be more widely available depending on where you are but I love the smaller independent builders.
Often that's where innovation is. While the "big three" have WSD now, that would not have happened but for builders like Terry and Luna bikes.

I think Redline is more known for BMX bikes, but they make decent cyclocross bikes also. I just got a Redline Conquest Pro Cyclocross bike and I had it built up in 10 speed shimano 105 for about 2k. It is a great bike and I'll be very competitive racing on it.
