Street bike sizing for 5 4 guy?

hey,
What type of bike is best suited for a 5 4 guy?

Ask for a 50cm road bicycle frame.

Sit on the bike and extend your leg with your foot on the pedal. Put the ARCH of your foot over the axle of the pedal. Your knee should be straight. Have someone hold the bike up and pedal backwards. If your hips rock back and forth, the seat is too high. If your knees flex the seat is too low. When you're actually riding, the BALLS of your feet will be over the axle of the pedal, and your knees will be slightly flexed when your leg is extended.
Finf a bike that will allow you to do this with the seat up about 2-3 inches from bottom and you have the right size.

Maybe you forgot the top tube height. First test is to stand over the top tube (the horizontal tube between the seat post the down tube (under the bars). You need about 1-2 inches between the hard tube and your privates that will get killed if you come off the seat and onto the bar.

If that fits, you can do what the other person said and make seat adjustments or change the length of the pedal crank arms (they do come in different lengths bepending on how you ride).

Are we talking bicycles or motorcycles? If it's got a motor move it on over to motorcycles. If it's about bicycles please be clearer in what you want to know.
