Are you trying out new bikes? You sound like you have my build. Short legs here too, and small hands. Like I said in the thread about component groups, I went with all 105 (2007) and R700 shifters (short reach with included shims) and a compact crankset. The bike itself is not a WSD, just a small unisex bike with a sloping top tube that enables me to stand over it. Traditional geometry was not going to work for me no way. Had to be men's geometry with a sloping top tube... nothing else would fit.
