Hi,

I'm getting ready to order a new bike, the problem is it's brand new so none available to ride. I've narrowed it down, ridden many similar bikes, and talked with almost everyone I could, the problem is I still don't know what size to order. LBS thinks either a 50 or 52 would work, but I’m still not 100% sure. I afraid if I go with the 52, I could end up with a very short stem. I think the 50 is the safer buy as it has only slightly shorter top tube. So any thoughts? I’m just shy of 5’5” barefoot, with a 31” inseam.

Many Thanks…

P.S. I think the LBS is correct that either bike could work well, I’m just trying to get the optimal fit.
