4'11 chimes in. I tried the Pacer and felt seriously stretched out. I chose the B V mixte at 42 cm. Despite the "girls" frame it's light, zippy and fast. The BV would do almost any ride I'd do with my custom road bike but with the option to carry my gear.

I used to ride a 42cm Pacer. I'm 5'2". The fit was good for me. It did have toe overlap but I don't do track stands so it wasn't a concern. I really liked the bike. Not as light and fast as many other road bikes, but very stable and comfortable. I did many big climbs and big descents on that bike. I only moved on from the Pacer when I got a Gunnar Sport frame.
