This is my first time purchasing a bike and I've been looking at the Bianchi Torino model but the lack of sizes has me worried.

I am 5'5 with probably no growth potential left. I don't have a measuring tape so I won't be able to measure my inseam until I visit the bike shop next week. I have short legs though, with an outseam of maybe 30 normally but I have my pants cuff tailored to my ankles at around 28.5. Of course I plan on getting properly fitted and test driving the bike at the shop but until then, is it possible to discern which size would fit me best?

I've seen some past fits on here and it seems people of my height usually go with a 52 cm while 54 cm is usually favored by those at 5'10. My friend who worked at a bike shop thinks the 54 cm model should fit me but everything on here has me thinking otherwise. Although I do love the look of the bike, I understand the importance of fit. Am I better off looking for a different model?

The sloping top tube makes sizing the bike to your inseam moot (irrelevant). The important dimension is the reach to the handlebars. Are you male or female? I notice the bike comes in both mixte and standard versions. What does looking for a different model get you? More information needed.

54" would be too big for you. I am 5'4 and I only ride a 47cm with lots of room for adjustment. why don't you get on it
