Letty,
Sorry my picture didn't work. The Aegis Swift is not a tri bike. It was built specifically for small riders. It was designed in such a way that the softness and stiffness of the carbon helps to asorb road shock. And it was designed with lighter weight riders in. It's been around since 96 or 97. The frame is entirely different than than the larger models that Aegis makes.

I bought my Swift 3 yrs ago. The first week I put over 400 miles on it. An average ride for me is 60 - 70 miles and last summer I was averaging 200 miles a week on it. If it were uncomfortable I wouldn't be doing this much mileage on it.

My standover is 71cm and I have plenty of clearance on the 44cm frame.

Also, remember TT length plays into the formula. I went to a smaller frame for the TT length not standover height.

You need to find someone who is a good bike fitter, my shop was, and let them determine the size you need.

I'm not sure you your feelings on Ti but Titus also makes small women's frames.

Aegis is a very good company to work with and I think they will help with sizing or any other questions you may have.

And finally, the Swift is such a joy to ride.
