Drool!!!

Too small for me (guess that's good for my wallet:rolleyes: ), but I hope you find it a good home:)

[ehirsch83]

thanks! I hope it does also.
Once I figure out when I can get my diva frame(I am going to build up a diva as long as I get enough money off of my bike-benefits of the SO working at the LBS), my poor baby here is probably going on EBAY, if she doesn't sell here.
I love this bike sooo much, corners so well, wants you to do technical stuff but at the same time a dream to ride long distance- just a good stiff racing frame.

Do you happen to know what the virtual tt length is? 53.5 sounds awfully big for a 44cm, but then it has a sloping top tube (my slightly too big 54cm road bike with standard geo has something like a 54.5cm tt).

Pretty...

Maybe not too small for you, CA_in_NC. Keep in mind that Giant makes a compact frame. That 44cm measurement is equivalent to a 51-54cm in other bikes. According to Giant's website, the 44cm (Small) should fit a woman between 5'4' and 5'7" tall. However, you really need to test ride. I got on a 3xs last weekend and it fit me at 5'2" even though the website lists it as made for under 5' - I need a shorter reach due to shoulder/neck stuff though.

that TT measurement sounds right - Giants are very, very long for their size - even the wsd models have long top tubes.
