New bike fit concern

[Owlie]

Until I saw those photos, I was going to say that a 50 cm has to be way too big for you. I am 5'2" and have ridden 44-46 cm road bikes and can't imagine going larger than a 47. But the bike actually looks like it fits you well in the photos. Are you sure it's really a 50?

Per your question, I like my saddles the same height as my saddle, not higher, not lower. Unless you're racing, having your bars lower than your saddle is very likely to lead to pain. For recreational riding, having them the same height should be about right.

That's a really pretty bike! I hope you can make it work. You look way taller than 4'11" on it, so that says to me that it is quite small.

Same here. It doesn't look like a bad fit to my eyes, though I defer to people with more experience. It might well be a 50, because if you look in the photos, it looks like there's a spot on the seat tube for a water bottle cage, which AFAIK is usually missing on the small frames, or appears to be missing in my image searches for 47cm Lexas. OP, I think you might need a proper bike fit, but it doesn't look too bad.

FWIW, my saddle and bars are about the same height. Same height or a little bit of a drop work well for me. I have no idea why they set up bikes so aggressively in pictures.

Also, pretty bike!
