Specialized Crux E5 Disc help

Hi , i just bought a Crux E5 for a very good price .. its a size 52cm but im only 5'5 .. i ride 49cm road bikes ..

Did i just made a big mistake getting this size ? or it will be fine for cross bikes ? .. im not planing on racing , just offroad and rides with my wife around the area .

I own a 49cm Crux. They seem to run a little large on the height/standover and small on the reach. Have you ridden the bike yet? I think you will be fine with the 52cm if the standover height works for you.
