I'm 5'0 with shorter legs and a longer torso. I ride a Trek 2000 47cm men's bike. The Specialized 44cm and the Trek 47cm are very close in size actually. I've actually gotten to test both a Trek Lexa 47cm and a Specialized Dolce 44cm just to get an idea of which company would work better for me in the future. Although those are the two I tested my next bike is going to be carbon. Unfortunately I have to drive 2 hours to the LBS's I prefer working with. We have a local shop here, but I do not care for them. So I drive to Raleigh to deal with a couple of stores there. A Trek store downtown and actually the Specialized store is downtown. Personally I liked the feel of the Trek better and am hoping to get a Madone. Now to determine if a WSD or a unisex is better for me...I'm leaning towards the unisex bike.
