Bike fit / used bike questions - looking for a used bike for my partner (162 cm). Found this used Gitane aluminum xc bike, size M, rockshox Judy 26", hydraulic brakes, 2x9, SRAM or Shimano (I forget). We tested it - rides smooth, shifts and brakes well. Owner claims it was ridden on greenways, asking 200 EUR.

Does this size/price look right? I know the seat needs raising from the photos with her on it. The seat is in a higher position in the workshop photo.

She said she felt pretty far forward/in an aggressive position. Would a riser stem help? I have a spare Jones Loop H-Bar I could throw on. Not messed around much with bike geometry so I'd appreciate crowd input to see if we could make some cheap mods to make it more comfy! Or to pass and keep looking. FWIW it would be used for commuting/greenways/some xc mtb. We live in a hilly area with a lot of double and singletrack trails.

Thanks in advance #BikeTooter #BikeFit
