Hello,

I am currently riding a small Giant. I am shopping for a new bike right now.
The Giant was never properly fitted to me. The frame is too big and I am stretched out. I am 5 feet tall with short torso. I have been working with a LBS and they are trying to fit me into a new bike. They are trying to get me into something with 700c wheels. They let me test ride a small ORBEA. I forgot the model but they measured a TT of 49cm. With everything adjusted to its limits it felt better than my Giant but I still feel stretched out. They even ordered a seat post with no set back to get the seat closer to the bars (problem here is I think my knees will end up too far forward - I was going to test ride this set up yesterday but it was raining)

It is more apparent I will need smaller wheels. A lot of brands have WSD with 650 wheels. The small frames all seem to have very extreme seat tube angles. For example I am looking at at Specialized Ruby with a seat tube angle of 76. Does anyone ride a small frame bike? How is the comfort/handling of these small frames? I doubt any of my local shops will have the smallest frames/wheels for me to test ride.

I am looking for something full carbon.

Any suggestions/opinions are appreciated.

Thanks
