    Dang. Too bad it's too small. I could just come pick it up!

    LOL, Ellen! I could just ride it to your house and walk back (almost)!

    Since I cannot edit my original post, I'll have to post this here:
    I was misled - upon further research I have determined that this bike is actually a 2009.

    5'4" but I have short legs and a long torso. I could have fit on the frame of a small, but the QR smalls have 700c wheels and because of that, I could not clear the top tube!

    Oh, and price drop to $1050 plus shipping.

    Bummer - I think I'm probably a small then. My Cervelo is a 50, so a 48 since a bit of a stretch. It's too bad you couldn't get her to work for you.

    Yeah, I'd bet that you are a small, too. My road bike is also a 48, so I'm probably just a tad shorter in most dimensions than you.

    I wish it would have worked, too. Honestly, the biggest problem was the TT position. I could hold it comfortably (except for crotch issues, but I expect that over time, I'd get those worked out with the right saddle), but I never enjoyed it. I don't like riding that aero - I didn't find it fun. I would much rather spend a ride in the drops on my road bike than on aerobars on this bike. I know that makes me weird, but whatever. If I were ever to consider longer distance triathlons, I'd probably try again (with a different brand, perhaps) but for now, my road bike makes me happier.
