    If your friend has a longer body/reach, then the 44 should fit her. I am more comfortable on my 44 cm Specialized Ruby, which is more compact. I was not comfortable using the brakes in the hoods on this bike, but had no problem in the drops or using the extra set of brakes on top - (I called them the "cheater brakes".

    Thanks! Also, the Shimano 105 is nice. Hard to find at this price point new or used, from what I was told when I bought this bike. My LBS was skeptical of my "eBay bike purchase" but when he assembled it he told me I got a heck of a deal.

    Do you know what size the wheels are? It doesn't say if the 44cm comes with 650 or 700's

    Kerry thought I'd let you know she opted to go with the new bike, good luck selling Rosey.

    Hi,

    Do you still have the bike? I am interested. I'm 4'10" and I can only hope it will fit me.

    How do you mean, $600 including shipping? I live in Texas?

    I'll make you an offer once I clarify the shipping.
