I did it - I am now a proud owner of a 2005 Terry Classic. I am only 5'0" tall and it fits me like a glove. It has straight handlebars (I wasn't ready for drop bars yet) and considering I have only ridden a very, very heavy bike, it feels like I am gliding on a cloud. I am sooo excited that I just had to share this with all of my new buddies here on TE. She is beautiful!
Now, if someone could teach me how to post a picture, I would be very happy to share what she looks like with the rest of you.

I don't know how to insert pics into a post, but I do know how to add one as an attachment. Once you have a post open and you're typing stuff, just scroll down a little past all the icon choices and click on manage attachments. From there you can choose an image and when you submit your post, it will show the attachment. If someone else can explain how to actually have a picture inserted into the test of a message, I'd appreciate it!

Oh no!
And I thought that I was being so smart. Mine does have straight handlebars. Let's see if I can find the right picture on the web. If not, I will have to borrow a digital camera and take a picture of it for real. With me on it is a great idea.
I'm feeling a little foolish. Please forgive me, it must be all the excitement going to my brain.

do you have a digital photo? Make sure it's not too big (800x800 pixels) Originally Posted by Over50Newbie

and hurry up and post it, preferably with YOU on it, we all want to see!

Fabulous! Congratulations! I'm curious, I am also 5 feet tall (I think the word "tall" is a misnomer) -- and I'm getting all kinds of conflicting advice about the size of road bike I should be looking at. I was at my LBS today, and the salesman went to measure me for a bike, only to find out I was too short for the bike measuring equipment. (My inseam (at my measurement) is 27" and his equipment didin't measure anything under 30"). He felt really badly that he couldn't help me and especially that there were no bikes in the store that would fit me...but then trying valiently to be of some help, proceeded to show me a bike that was 47cm and let me test ride it. My crotch did NOT clear the bar (is it supposed to? He said it didn't matter), but the biggest issue when riding it was that the brakes and gears were really too large for the span of my fingers when hanging onto the drop handlebars (I realize I can change the handlebars, etc). I felt I had to hop down off the bike anytime I stopped, which was uncomfortable with the center bar jammed in my genitals. Originally Posted by Over50Newbie
