Cannondale Feminine, Felt FW and ZW, Trek WSD, and maybe Jamis come to mind as brands with 650c road options.
Carbon fiber 10 speed equipped road bikes with 650c wheels can be hand new for ~$1650-1750 in 2011. Older model years or used bikes could be less. Maybe you could sell the oversized 49cm and start over with a new complete bike.

Good luck,

X2, and if you think about selling, let me know ;-) (I ride a 49 and I'm 5'6", more legs than torso)

"How bad could it be?" - SimpleS

My wife has just turned onto 650 wheels. Got a Felt B10 48cm, 650's and is seriously blowing the crap out of her times. 5 minutes off her PB Olympic bike split, 10 minutes off her PB HIM bike split in the last month alone (she only got it in March).

She's pretty happy with Felt at the moment :)

This is what I was thinking. Thanks for the helpful suggestions!

Cervelo RS. My one true looooooooooove!

Yes of course, I had forgotten that option. The RS is (was?) available for ~$2600 with SRAM Apex if I recall correctly. That is certainly an option worth considering for the 5'0" and under crowd. Once you get near the $3000 price point a host of smaller custom builders are opened up also.
