Just jumping into this now, but....I am 5'5" and tend to have short legs (and arms--my father's side of the family Irish body type...), and I have a 50cm Rambouillet; yes, they have 26" wheels, and I had to do a bit of searching, but found good tires (continental makes some). I lucked out with this bike, because it fits wonderfully and I often feel "at one" with it. I'm riding it in my avatar. The Legola does sound very nice, though.
