Thanks for bringing that up, Yan!! It's amazing to me how many well-intentioned recommendations I've gotten that were totally crazy for me, even though I shared my X-seam and height! Being a smaller woman is a real pain when shopping for a bike, that's for sure! It's really hard to sift through the various recommendations to decide what will really work, and of course, there is nothing in my area to "test ride". Wish I lived near your store!
