Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Entry Level Women's Road Bike Options: 5'1 and 28 inseam

I am looking for an entry level road bike for a 5'1 28 inseam woman. Really the only one I've been able to find that has a 27 (685mm) >= stand over height is the Specialized Dolce
Any other thoughts. I couldn't seem to find any other geometries that would fit her.

Also women's Felt. In 47/48. Or Cervelo, though in extra-small their wheel size dips to 650c.

My wife rides a 44 Specialized Roubaix with 700 wheels. She's 5'0". It's not an entry level bike, but I bet that there's an aluminum frame option.
