I’ve been looking for a carbon road bike for awhile now and having trouble finding one that will fit me. I’ve already had a few professional fits (one lost my measurements), but still not confident in options. I’m currently riding a women’s Trek Madone 4.5 series 50cm, which is way to big. I am 5ft 0in exactly, weight 92lbs, with around a 27 inch inseam. Is there any women who know of bikes or manufactures that make small carbon bikes that would fit me?
From researching, it seems that all cannondale, trek, specialized, giant/liv bikes are too large. I’ve been looking into the Pinarello F10 42.5cm (very pricey), Felt women FRW2 43cm, Aragon18 which I’m not familiar with, and Canyon Women Ultimate 3XS (has 650 wheels). With these, I will still need a zero offset seat post and other adjustments.

What makes you think you’ll need a zero-offset seatpost? Most extra-small frames already have extremely steep seat tube angles.
Specialized makes 44 cm . I have fit several bikes several makes, to 5 ft tall riders. Find a fitter that uses a fit bike, do the fit session then take numbers and shop. With Retül Zin tool gives great info for you to shop with
My wife is 5’ 0" and an XS women’s Scott Contessa Foil fits her perfectly. We actually lengthened the stem by a cm or 2 or I remember correctly, so I wouldn’t have thought a zero offset seat post would be a requirement. Her bike is 3 or 4 years old now though. We’ve looked at Canyon for getting her a mountain bike as they do good small size ones.
