I was having the same problem finding a bike that fit me. Cause I am short as well. My husband bought my giant xtc frame on ebay from a guy named Egon ( molds spores and fungas for movie buffs). He had bought it for he's wife hoping she would want to ride but it didn't happen. So we got it. And it was sooooo much cheaper then buying it retail. I was nervous it wasn't going to fit. But it is perfect for me! And my dh did such a good job with it. I bet if you did your research it will be perfect for you. And like momonbike said you can always resell it on ebay! No big!

Welcome to the Racer X club!
I got mine after drooling all over SadieKate's. I was riding a hard tail before (a heavy one at that). It's a fun and easy bike to ride. And with the XS (which both SadieKate and I have) you can really keep the weight of the bike down. I have disc brakes so mine's slightly heavier (than SK's) at 24-point-something pounds.
Make sure you post a picture when you can!

Hey there wavedancer... have faith
Sure it will be great... about half of our bikes are bought from "trademe" - the NZ equivalent of ebay... and they have been fabulous
In fact half of my road bikes are new and half are pre-loved... lol I only have two (see pic of my brand new baby - as yet un-named - in another thread)
And Wednesday - thats my Thursday, yes? And its Thursday evening here, which must make it Wednesday morningthere... arrival is immminent methinks... so exciting. Let us know how it goes...
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
