Fit Help Needed ASAP

[ilima]

My road and cross bikes are both 49cm. I'm 5'4.5". I suspect you could make the 49 work by using a longer stem, but a 52cm might be your ideal size. OTOH, some folks size down in their cross bikes.

I had a 52cm Bianchi Strada (same geometry & frame as the Volpe & San Jose, which are 'cross bikes). Bought it when I didn't know much about fit. Felt a bit too big. Sold it to a woman that was about 5'8". At first she thought it might be too small, but ultimately decided it was the right size or at least close enough for a commuter.
