My first bike was a 49cm Fuji Roubaix (mens). It was an awesome starter bike (and a great deal for the money). It was a previous year's model (new) so for only $750, I got good components (105/Ultegra mix) and a nice frame with carbon fork & seat stays. Three things to watch out for on a small men's bike 1) wheels - mine had 700c and while it was ok for my first bike, it did have toe overlap (and I have small feet) and 2) handlebar width. Mine came with 44cm wide handlebars which was WAY too wide for me. I used to have all kinds of upper back/elbow pain on rides longer than 40 miles. Of course, this is easily changed. Lastly 3) break/shift levers - the reach can be too long for small hands (again, can be adjusted with shims for most current models).
