I'm 151cm...I think that's shorter than you
What we're concerned about is reach..I need a horizontal top tube with no more than 530mm reach & that's where the Titus might come in..
I'm willing to try an XXS out & see how it fits...

Hey Crazycanuck!
I've been a bit quiet lately as I am off the bike as currently pregnant, but like to take a read every now and then. I know how you feel about getting test bikes. I'm in the "big city" of Sydney and still bikes shops don't have a range of women's bikes in the try. They all seem too frightened to take the leap even though the girl brigade is getting huge!
In terms of which bike to get from personal experience, I can't help you out as I am still on a cheapy Avanti (or will be after the baby comes), but from what I've heard Titus are awesome. Saw a few girls on them when I raced in the Angry Doctor 100km at Mogo last year and they raved. Good luck. I will enjoy living vicariously through you all till I get back in the bush!
GGKeep ridin' and smilin'....

Hey, CC -- I can't remember the last time I could test ride a bike in my size (for instance, the XS Racer X or Motolite). I've just gone with measurements off my other bikes, reviews and intended use. Worked out so far!

I think you made a great choice.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
