I am 5' 1" and ride a Cannondale Synapse WSD. I love, love my bike. I have over 14,000 miles on it and want to ride it forever. I tried many bikes before I bought Orange Crush. I knew after riding the bike for about a half hour that it was the right one for me. The fit is just so good. Do not settle for a bike, whether a road bike, hybrid, or whatever, until you have this feeling. You will know.
