Re: what size bike
The precise size will vary depending on how long your legs, arms, and torso are. If you've got compatatively longer legs, you should get a bike with a slightly longer seat tube and a shorter top tube. Etc. Ideally, you'd get a good bike shop to set you up precisely on a few bikes and then let you test ride them. If you're set on buying online, you could try a calculator: http://www.cyclemetrics.com/Pages/F...e_fit_links.htm. It'd still be advisable to get advice from a good local bike shop on saddle and stem/handlebar setup.

Re: what size bike
5'4" tall person? Size small road bike with 650c roadie rims or XC (extremely narrow) 26" (559) mountain bike rims.
And, you should test drive. If the handlebars seem short, the bike is too small. If you strike the top tube with your. . .um. . ."goodies" then the bike is too big. Get the tallest you can ride without endangering your. . . well, I'm outta here.
