I am 4'10"...I have a Lightspeed Bella with 650c wheels. I had to shop around for a bikestore that was willing to work with me. I had the drop handlebars changed over to straight bars. I could not comfortably apply the brakes without changing gears when I had the drops and the arrangement was already the smallest made. My lbs worked with me to find a fit that was comfortable for me. Now that I have been riding the bike for a year, I think I would like to get the drops back on.
