Small Rider, Small Hands

[wildeny]

Are there any small riders out there who have found a way to work around this? Let me know if you need additional details. And thanks in advance for your responses.

I'm 5'2" and my hands are pretty small (at this height). I can even wear gloves for children.
My hand is 16.5 cm in length and 7.5 cm in width.
My road bike comes with a compact handlebar with short reach & drop (like FSA's) and Shimano R700 shifters. Already put on the 8mm shims.





I have no problem in applying brakes. (you can apply brakes more firmly when your hands are on the drops.)

Hope this would help.
