I have the Appaloosa in NYC, but I have the 55cm one from the original run and it's too big for you. It's a great bike for NYC. Mine is even set up singlespeed right now. It still rides amazing. Even for me - the Appaloosa feels BIG! But mine fits me well and I love it.
Why don't you measure the seat height on your current bike? That could help you decide. https://www.rivbike.com/pages/pubic-bone-height-how-to-measure-your-pbh According to this chart, you'd be either the 46 Appaloosa or the 51. The 46 has 26" wheels, but the 51 has 650b. Good luck! m PS also what bars do you want to use. Perhaps consider going shorter for drops, longer for flats?
