I'm 5'0" tall with short legs and a longer torso. I currently have a 47cm Trek 2000 (older men's road bike) which I found used at a beach bike shop last summer. I can ride the Trek 47cm bikes as well as the Specialized 44cm bikes. On the other hand I cannot ride any of the Cannondale bikes.

My current bike has the 650 wheels, I personally want 700 wheels on my next bike, and have tested the Lexa, but intend on getting a Madone.
