Fabulous! Congratulations! I'm curious, I am also 5 feet tall (I think the word "tall" is a misnomer) -- and I'm getting all kinds of conflicting advice about the size of road bike I should be looking at. I was at my LBS today, and the salesman went to measure me for a bike, only to find out I was too short for the bike measuring equipment. (My inseam (at my measurement) is 27" and his equipment didin't measure anything under 30"). He felt really badly that he couldn't help me and especially that there were no bikes in the store that would fit me...but then trying valiently to be of some help, proceeded to show me a bike that was 47cm and let me test ride it. My crotch did NOT clear the bar (is it supposed to? He said it didn't matter), but the biggest issue when riding it was that the brakes and gears were really too large for the span of my fingers when hanging onto the drop handlebars (I realize I can change the handlebars, etc). I felt I had to hop down off the bike anytime I stopped, which was uncomfortable with the center bar jammed in my genitals.

What size of Terry did you end up with? I went to their website and didn't even see a "Classic" model there. I'm very curious!
