Looking for A Short Reach Frame 48ish CM

[pjmsj21]

I am looking for a second bike for my wife who currently rides a BMC GF 01, in a 48cm size. Interestingly this BMC has a pretty short reach when compared to the Giant's, Felt's and Specialized road bikes. The reach on her BMC is 35.4cm with a reasonable stack of 52.7cm.

Anyone have any suggestions for a short reach road bike in this size range?

The first thing that popped into my head is Pinarello. Check out the Pinarello Paris Easyfit frame. They're closing them out at blowout prices. Another option is the Scott Contessa Solace.

Caad10 makes a 48cm and the Specialized women's series all have a 48cm frame. Shouldn't be too hard to find one around to test ride and try out.

and if that's her real reach and stack. According to the Spesh Chart, she is closer to a 44cm

There's a 46cm Paul Taylor on SF Craigslist.

Check it out.

BINGO! Both seem to replicate the fit of the BMC albeit the Pinarello does it for a lot more. The Scott might be a better route to go as it is a second frame that will travel via car and live in our cabin.

Thank you for your great suggestions!
