If only I could grow a few inches, I could fit your bike AND I wouldn't need to lose weight. It would be a win/win.

Tulip- thanks for the post. Good to know you bought your BF without test riding it first. Makes me feel somewhat less crazy. I think I'm going to be very happy with a folder. I don't travel a lot (maybe once a year), but I just like the idea of it. They are unique and different- and that's how I like to roll...

Have you called Bike Friday? They're pretty supportive even of their used bikes, and are usually great about helping to hook you up with local folks who ride them. Seriously - they'll give you names and numbers of people who will let you test ride.

Also, they have pre-loved bikes on their website (I think I mentioned that in the other thread too). They sell for less than new, they do sometimes have smaller ones, and they come with a money back guarantee, IIRC.

Oh TG look at Susan's because I want it so bad! LOL. Of course DH told me I could have a folder possibly with his bonus this year then realized he is lucky to have a job and likely no bonus. So shorty snap that up because I am a midget and want it myself.

You didn't even need to drag bikes to Texas, just could have called me I ride 47 cm.

I'm 5'2" and have a white Pocket Crusoe, but it is not for sale. I didn't test ride one first -- I ordered mine direct from Bike Friday, providing them with measurements from my Terry Isis (17.5" frame size = 44.5 cm). BF made the top tube a little long the first time since they couldn't believe anyone really needed a 19" TT (they didn't "get" WSD all that well in 2004). I had to send it back for a re-do, so I really have no idea what "size" it ended up as, but it fits me now.

Good luck finding one to fit you -- I've seen small ones in BF's pre-owned listings from time to time.

I just ordered my BF today through my local LBS (they are not a dealer, but since there's not another dealer for about 500 miles, they said they could order it for me and therefore I get the free lifetime service, tune ups, fitting, etc).
I didn't go custom, because we made sure (with BF) that the 50 would work (and since I just bought a $3K tri bike a year ago- I didn't feel OK with going custom again so soon), so I got the stock Pocket Sport. I'm SO excited. I just hope I love it when it comes in. I still haven't test ridden one, but I just know I'll enjoy it.

I'll post pics when it arrives.

Thanks for all your help!!!

I'm so jealous... I want one too. Did you get the red?
