I'm a little taller (5'7") and that might make a difference, but I've had good luck going with a men's bike and then swapping out for a shorter stem +/- narrower handlebars. I currently ride a Cinelli Aliante and love it. I agree that it is best to just go ride as many as possible, though, and see what feels best, knowing that you can make adjustments to components to get a personalized ride. Good luck!
