Is the LBS willing to order you a 44 Dolce or 47 Trek? Only asking because my LBS was willing to do order me one at no obligation because they recognized that it was a size they didn't have in stock, and that they should carry at least one bike in that size for smaller size women to try (they have 4 stores and none of them stocked anything smaller than a 48).

They originally had me on a 48 (I'm 5'0 with a 26 inch inseam) and they were going to adjust it for me but another salesman realized that I was reaching out too far and he spoke to the manager and got a 44 approved. I think they saw that I was serious about the bike and figured that even if I didn't end up buying it, it would still be good to have on the floor.

Is there a Jamis dealer near you? I tried one of the smaller Jamis bikes as well but didn't like the fell of it as much as I liked the Specialized.
