I suggest "Endurance" geometry bikes and also "Women-Specific" bikes.

I have a very short torso relative to my limbs, and bikes which fit my legs leave me lying prone, which my body simply cannot handle. Whenever I look at frames i look for a tall head tube and a short top tube. A lot of "woman-specific" bikes are designed for long-legged, short-torsoed individuals, and further, if you are short overall, a W-S bike might fit better in general.

Otherwise, google "[bike manufacturer] endurance geometry" and see what you come up with ... Giant Defy, Specialized Roubaix, etc.
