A friend has asked for my advice for a new road bike she is 5'1" tall and using one of the online bike fit calculators needs a frame with a top tube length of about 50cm which is an XS or XXS frame size in some women specific road bikes. She likes the Cannondale Synapse Carbon and could try one for size at an Evans store, this would come with 700c wheels and I'm guessing compromised geometry because of the larger wheels on such a small frame.
Canyon are doing womens road bikes with 650b wheels on the frame size that would suit her but it will cost a bit more and no test ride. If you're of a similiar size is the 650b a better option or are there any alternatives to the canyon available? TIA.
