cyclocross frame size?

if it's a scattante, I think you bought it at performance... and they pretty much have a return the bike if it's not right policy at any point... I think a 48 might be too big for you - but how much standover height do you have?

i'm about the same size as the original poster - 5'4" but with a 28.5" inseam. barefoot i just barely clear the crossbar, would probably be right on it if i sneezed.

good thing i didn't knock off those reflectors yet haha. and yeah, i did get it at performance who didn't have any cross riders working that day to correct me when i tried it out :/

Yeah, you need more standover than that to ride cross.

I'm 5'1" and took my brand new 2009 44cm Chili Con Crosso out for its maiden voyage today and it fit perfect! The standover is a little iffy, but I'll just have to avoid any sudden step downs. Otherwise, the bike rode great and overall handled better and was more comfortable than my XS road bike with 650cc wheels. I loved riding the 700cc wheels. They sucked up the bumps and hills on a 30 mile dirt road ride.

I guess time will tell, but I'm not sure I agree with the naysayers that say us vertically challenged folks have to ride 26" or 650 wheels.....
