The only CX bikes I've encountered with smaller frame sizes are the Redline Conquest and Surly Cross-Check (they go down to 44cm I think) - the Conquest seems okay but most of the LBS around here only carry the Pro model, and both the Conquest Pro and Cross-Check are out of my price range.


What to do? Are there any sub-$1100 CX bikes that make frames under 50cm?
I feel your pain. I'm 5' 4" and I ride a 47cm road frame.
