HI I am short 4' 11" I bought a Carbon Cannondale Sypnase my first bike. It was beautiful, but I never did feel good riding her and I sold her. My BF bought me a Cervelo R3 and it is just wonderful. Many girls here like very much the Sypnase, for me it didn't work. Just like some say please give them a try. Not everything works for everybody.
