    I'm 5'1", with a super short inseam- 28 inches I think, and short little arms.
    Yet I have a ..... get this..... size 10 foot!!!!!!!!
    I think that comes from years of running marathons with so much "adipose tissue" on the ol frame... sigh..

    I'm 5'4" but judging by stand over height and top tube length it should fit me. It all depends on the company. I've found other that are 46cm and 48cm with almost the same geometry.

    I'm 4'11 1/2" with an inseam of 27.5. I ride a 44 but I've got to lower the saddle a tad. I'm still in a semi-aggresive riding position, so it works. Yes, that's how short we are.

    Not always, though. It depends on the geometry - road bikes with a compact geometry tend to have lower nominal size so you buy a 44 that may be equivalent to a 49 or 50. And it is also true that it depends on the manufacturer: a 44 by one maker can have practically the same setup of a 46 by another maker...

    My new Cannondale is a 40 cm. I'm 5'1-1/2, with an inseam of 27-1/2. The standover on the next size up was too high, not to mention the top tube being too long for me. Actually the top tube length is a problem for me with most bikes. So far this one feels pretty good.

    I am sure she will find a wonderful home, she is beautiful

    And wow...5'1" and size 10? I suppose I won't feel so bad about 5'11" and size 10.

    And, alas, I know she won't fit me.
