Karen,

Congratulations on your Trek 5200 WSD! I have a question for you: What size did you end up getting? I see that Annie is just under 5'2" and got the 51 cm size. This really surprised me as I am a bit over 5'2" and test rode the 47cm size (my post on this is in this forum under "Terry bikes"). I found that the top tube was a bit longer than on my 17.5" Terry Isis, and I felt a bit stretched out. Perhaps this is actually a *better* fit than my Isis (I have never had a professional fitting), but it didn't feel as good. So, I was really surprised to read Annie's post about fitting a 51cm! I don't think my arms are abnormally short, but perhaps they are!

I'm still thinking about the 5200 WSD as I suspect I just need a higher stem to make it fit just right. But it has to wait til next year for financial reasons (just bought a lovely Santana Team AL to ride with hubby!)

As for the stock saddle - it hurt me during my little 5 mile test ride! Ugh! I would have to change that out for a Terry immediately - I have to have that cut-out or I just burn down there. Ouch! Glad it works for you, though.

Enjoy your new bike!

Emily
