49cm for your height is a little small but you should have no issues riding it

It depends on your inseam and overall proportions, but 49cm will be fine. Probably slightly too small, but fine overall.
I have a 52cm feather at about the same height and it’s a little too big for me. I’d rather have gotten a 49 and just ran a longer stem.

You need to measure your inseam and standover height and compare the TT length to what you know you’ve been comfortable with before. I’m just taking a guess, but I feel like 52cm seems like a better fit? Totally depends on the actual frame and riding style to dial it in.

as others say it depends on your proportions, but for reference i’m 5′ 4″ with 29″ inseam with the exact same 49cm frame
i clear the top tube standing with like a cm to spare, but had to get a no setback post and 60mm stem because the reach was crazy

How does it feel = all that matters.

Might be alittle cramped but my rule of thumb has been that within reason it’s easier to make a small frame big than a big one small

Fuji Feathers run small, FYI.
