    5 foot even ...

    Glad it worked out for you ... I've tried riding my friend's (she's 5'1") Trek 47cm Madrone and it was just too big for me!

    I usually lie about my height (never my age) ... I spent 2 hours getting fitted at a Dearborn MI bike shop a few years ago. The measuring devices could not be deceived. I had a few bikes in mind, and they were silver or black. And they were too big. They ordered a 40cm Cannondale WSD R800 frame and it fits beautifully. I've grown to love its pepto bismal pink paint. I highly recommend going to a bike shop that will take the several hours required to measure and match your dimensions to bike geometry and spec's. And then wait while they order and customize your bike. And plan on more time as they work with you and bike on a trainer to adjust it all until ... it works.
