My wife is 5'4" as well with similar body build. She rides the 51cm version of the FB-1 and it fits her perfectly. As I mention in my review, the degree of adjustability is large and I'm confident your wife will enjoy the fit of a 51cm model. If you've not read my review on the FB-1, check it out here:

As an aside, a buddy and my brother-in-law were so impressed with the FB-1, they are buying one for themselves. That makes five FB-1 bikes in my circle of family and friends.
