I'm spending more than I wanted to, but the end result should be a great product. I had a hard time finding the small size of the Raleigh in stores and given the size I ended up buying, I suspect even their small might be too large for me.

Where are you located? Why do you think the bike is too long? I ask because I find a lot of women try to sit TOO up right on their bike and making it so the front end doesn't have any weight on the front. That may not be the matter and maybe you do need a bit shorter - but let me know what the concerns are and maybe virtually I can help!

I just bought the 15.5, it's a super bike. Wish you could get the carbon componentry on an aluminum though. One issue, I've had it like 10 days and am starting to wonder if I should have got the smaller 14.5 because its a bit longer reach then I'm used to. Sadly they never have tiny bikes for demo and I always end up guessing on size based off the bike shop guys recommendation- and course, you have to buy it to get it in to even try it really. Any owners of the lush out there have thoughts on if the .5" shorter toptube would make a difference?

For where you ride I recommend long. Padding or just for protection? Where's that extra your? :) Dale – long finger or short? For where you ride I recommend long.

Padding or just for protection?

Where’s that extra your? :)

I too hate it when my gloves don't match my bike... the main reason I have not riden in a year :-). (btw... you have an extra "your" in there.
