Oh my gosh, I would totally consider a custom bike, or a semi Custom bike. There are some fantastic frame builders out there and you would have the perfect bike for you. We attend the National Association of Handmade Bicycle show, it was in Austin this year and Sacramento in 2012. We were next to Yipsan at the 2011 show, both he and his wife are on the shorter side and the bikes were amazing. Ellis was another builder we liked.
Do a bit of research, make some phone calls and I think you will be please.
Life is short!! (no pun intended)
I ride a Rivendell and they will also work with you to get the bike that is right for you. Grant was the designer for Bridgestone and most of his bikes are mfg by waterford.
