    I already posted I am towering over 4th graders at 5'2".

    My old bike was a 48 cm Fuji, shorter stem added. New bike is a Cannondale Synapse 47 cm, off the rack except the saddle. I have absolutely no torso and long legs for a short person. Typical WSD bike body.

    I'm 5'3" I think, why don't you guys learn the metric system?! 160cm anyway, I kill those pointing out that's only in the morning. So don't even start.

    I ride a Ciöcc Morpho 2 2005 Special Edition, size XS. It's tiny, it's not WSD, but it fits me really well. Trying to get a decent bike with a decent kit for tiny women is almost hopeless in this country though, hence my Italian imported beauty. And I've already posted my frustration over all those bike sellers telling me that "no-one buys bikes like that". Well, no wonder when they're never in stock! So I support the idea that they may be a little out of synch with their customers.

    But hey, it's picking up here in the Arctic as well, road cycling has really picked up the last few years - possibly a consequence of TdF and the Giro being broadcast on commonly available tv channels, and of course the fact that there have been two excellent Norwegian riders in these stage races the last few years.
    Think orange. Earn success.
