I love my compact baby! She treats me well. Now, I may be a dolt -- I bought the first bike I test-rode. But, it was after doing a CRAPLOAD of research, and reflected my measurements without issue. Got a great deal on her last month, as she's an '04. But, what a babe she is. All shiny and red, and nice and compact (I am 5 1/2 feet, so it works out well).
