YEA!!!! I am very short, and on the heavy side. I didn't have many bikes to choose from when I was looking for my road bike, more due to my height (4'10") than my weight issue. I wasn't a member of TE at the time and I see now that if I had been, I would have had more insights as to what I was looking for, but when I rode my Lightspeed Bella, I knew that was the one for me. It was more expensive than I was planning to spend, but because of my height limitations, I knew FIT was the most deciding factor. Glad you are so happy. You will ride longer, happier and it is already proven with your first ride

Congrats on the new bike. It sound like you made a great choice for your needs. Don't worry about not trying other bikes...sometimes you just know.
BTW I fell in love with the first bike I tried (Specialized Sequoia Elite) and then tried a few others basically just so I could say I'd done my due diligence.

I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

well, I'm glad to have the outside validation of my hasty choice. I chose my hubby in much the same fashion and that seems to have worked out...
