If you are 5'2", what road bike size are you riding ?
Hi,
I've been itching to upgrade from my existing alum roadbike to a Ti one. I've been shopping and shopping online ..
Just wondering among the ladies in this forum who are about 5'2" tall, what road bike size are you riding ?
I'm looking at Merlin Camena and Litespeed Bella, both are WSD. But I'm torn between their XS and small sizes. A competitive fit will recommend a small but a more relaxed riding style will recommend a xs size.
Your comments are very much appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for all your replies

Choosing the size wasn't too difficult, but I didn't like the idea of the smaller wheels. I almost chose to go with their custom option so that I could get bigger wheels, but since this is my first year of riding, I felt guilt over spending the additional money!

This has to be one of the best bike forums that I'm on. Thanks all. :)
Luv'nAustin, great to know that you are riding a camena. I'm pretty torn between the Litespeed Bella and Camena. One of the big factor was the wheel size. Bella comes with 700 for the small and I don't understand why a Small camena has 650c wheels. I'm currently using 700 and I like the feel. How's the feel of the bike so far ? I'm going to try to test ride the Bella next week at a LBS to check out the feel. But I've been told that Merlin rides better than a Litespeed.
oh .. and Happy New Year to all on the forum :)
