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. Originally Posted by Veronica

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.My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

I've done all of my HIM on my road bike. My only issue with it has been that my legs are so dead on the run after 56 miles. I wonder if the TT position would make that less of an issue.
Plus I just need to get more bike time this year.

I am a small in QR also. I have a Lucero. If your bike was a small, I'd totally buy it and ride it on the trainer. Dang! Originally Posted by GLC1968
