Am I too short for my new bike? Pls help

It's been awhile since you posted, but I had to chime in as I faced the same issue three months ago. I'm 4'10" and had a terrible time finding a bike that fit. I looked at a Trek 7.5 WSD, but was worried because I didn't have the 1-inch clearance. I bought the bike; I've been riding and have had to stop short a couple of times. The clearance is not an issue.

standover clearance is a bit more of an issue for guys than females, I think

It's fun to read the blog "Small things considered" http://www.kerry-litka.com/main/wordpress/ by Kerry Litka, a former (female) pro cyclist for Terry. She is very petite too. ("freakishly small since 1976") tokie (at 5'1.5" I tower over you guys, and am still surprised when people refer to me as short. My motto is "being tall is overrated")
