Just to add one more possibility to the list of already-excellent suggestions: There's a shop in Kansas City called Velo Plus; there's a framebuilder there named Julie Ann Pedalino who is: a) smaller and b) fairly new in framebuilding. She won an award at NAHBS a couple years ago, though, and I've seen her frames in person and there's some quality stuff going on. Anyway, point is she might be a little more affordable & less of a waiting list than some custom builders, and I know from her instagram posts she's been dabbling in 650c bikes lately so she's probably pretty knowledgeable about small bike sizing issues.
