Can you take those bikes back, or are you stuck with them since they're 2007 models?

My LBS let me exchange a bike that was too small for one that was the right size, and that was after a couple hundred miles. They swapped the wheels so that the returned bike had fresher tires before going back on the sales rack (and it did sell on its own not long after that), but I was back out the door with a new bike that fit me right.

And, some years back when I first bought from a shop and not a big box retailer, they let me pick a bike model, then sent me out on three different sizes so I could feel for myself which one I liked.

Maybe let your husband ride your bike, and trade his in for an even smaller one. It might also be worth offering to swap the wheels like my shop did.
