Could drop the seat to help make it a small :wink:
For the record if it helps, with the saddle at this height as shown in the photos I'm 5'7" with a 31" inside leg

Would that fit you?

I'm enjoy using the Aeroe Front Spider rack at present, keeping the weigh lower and less faffing around with the handle bars.

A bit biased, (ref signature) but for hot temps these shorts 4 way stretch are very breathable
