  Hi Alice, and welcome.
  
  Well as a short arse bloke feel I have to respond. Talking to the girls on this subject most seem to eschew female specific bikes as they reckon that there is a markup.
  
  What you may want to consider is to see a bike fitter to get sized and then complete the fitting post purchase. Some retailers also do proper bike fitting.
  
  Hope that is a start for you

  Since you ride a Bianchi, you obviously are a very discerning bike rider, with Zac on this one, I would visit as many bike shops as you can, and try as many as you can never buy straight away, visit a reputable dealer who does a bike fit, a womens specific bike, may not be right, just because it says womens.
  
  You could try a Bianchi Chrono and stay with the brand, depends on price, etc, fit is everything, well apart from looks,

  One of my short female friends had a frame custom made and it wasn't much more expensive than buying a medium range branded frame. I am trying to remember the brand, am sure it was Italian and they have a fitting centre and outlet in Great Dunmow, Essex

  Excellent news, having a proper fit is the best way of getting sized up with the right bike
