    I'm 5'2", with a long body but really short arms and legs. Shopping for bikes is a nightmare.

    I have a 50cm Giant OCR1 with a short stem. I can just barely, sort of, stand over it. But it fits and feels great while I'm riding.

    My last road bike, in the late '80's was a Norco LadySport, which had great standover for me, but my head hung out over the front wheel. It was never comfortable.

    I like being tall, the way I like to eat I wish I were taller

    I am finishing my first Body for Life Challenge after this week. 18th is my
    success day. Work out 6 days a week for 12 weeks. Tomorrow is first day ofweek 12. So far I have not missed a single workout past 11 weeks.
    I lost inches more than the scale showed pounds. Start weight 183 now 172.

    I am doing another challenge starting the 19th. More riding this time. I plan to stay on it for life. Body for Life is an awesome plan.

    You don't have to buy the book necessarily if you look on the site it has alot to offer. I only purchased the Eating for Life book. The recipes are good and easy to follow, it uses everyday items not "oh I have to go to a special store"
