Help, what to do with my bike?!

[jodz1984]

I am 5'3 and i have a small framed Giant TCR C1, which i bought 2nd hand but luckily the previous owner changed the handlebars to smaller ones so all i had to get changed for a proper set up was a shorter stem. I got it changed from 100mm to 60mm, since that the bike has felt really good to ride. According to the giant website i was on the borderline of needing a small frame and an extra-small frame. So in my opinion go for the bike and customise it for you, you'll have to do this for a new bike anyway if you don't get a women specific bike, there wasn't that many choices for that when i looked before i bought the bike i purchased.

Great to hear from some other Giant riders! I've had some difficulty finding any shops who do the giant frames in XS, have a feeling the xs would be fairly ideal though. Unfortunately, the tcr composite doesn't come in that size.
Jodz, it's quite reassuring to hear you get on OK with your TCR. What sort of build are you, short legs, long torso or vice versa?

I'm going on a ride tomorrow, will try to post some pics (this would be before any adjustments to bar and stem as haven't taken the bike to the shop yet).

Keep your ideas coming!
