Well, first off it's like a Kilo TT sizing, which is 42cm c-c, but 45cm c-t. Still it's a bit small for me, but it's the only 650c size they make, and the 49cm with 700c wheels is the next size, which is equivalent to 52cm c-t. I've been able to make it fit with a lot of stem spacers and a longer stem. I think it would be perfect for a 5 footer. I'm building a 49cm Soma Rush with 700c wheels which I think will be a better fit, although I will have negative standover clearance.
