Cyclocross bike for 5 foot 4 inch man?

[VeloVT]

I'd also suggest looking at the Bianchi Axis. Mine is 52 cm and a great fit for me (I'm 5'6", with a long torso). Here it is:



This year's model comes in a 44 and a 49; there's a geometry chart on the website here:

(Looks like the replaced the super-tiny triple on my model with a compact double; a good move imo).

It's a really fun bike, stiff & snappy, quick handling, comfy relaxed geometry, and at around 21 lbs including fat tires, not too much heavier than my roadbike.

One thing to be aware of with cross bikes -- the BB is often higher than with road bikes (someone more knowledgeable than I may be able to tell you why this is, but it's a result of slightly different rear-triangle angles), which can affect TT clearance, so depending on the particular model you may size down from your road bike size.

Make sure you pay as much attention to the TT length/reach as to the clearance, it's more important to overall fit.
