Child's bike for a small woman?

[smaryka]

Hi all.

Smaryka, have you posted in LFGSS recently? Maybe you've got a twin

I'm 4'11 and am currently on the hunt for the 'perfect' OTP road bike. I was convinced a smaller frame would be the way to go, but have currently ridden a Trek 1.2 47cm which was uncomfortable in comparison with a Cannondale 48/50. It appears I'm more leg than arms.

I knew it was difficult to find bikes for shrimps, just hadn't realised how difficult

Runningcyclist, what bike did you end up getting?

I discovered my perfect 650c bike when I took my old Cervelo P2SL TT frame (not available in Europe I don't think) and built it up as a road bike. Now it's my #1 racing bike, fast and furious with the added aero bonus. It's like climbing aboard a penny-farthing when I jump back on the "big" 700c Soloist again.
