Willehond Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 My issue is that all Ladies specific stuff is pink or baby blue. Why don't they have a black and red LSD bike?? Because then men might actually get on it and realise there is nothing different to them! Plus all girls like pink bikes. Really, they do

quinton Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I would love to see more woman on bike Seen some amazing ladies on bikes already
speedplaya Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 WSD is beneficial to the avg women - obviously some females have dimensions that are more like men's and so would be better off on a std bike.WSD are big in the USA . I spoke to a bike setup expert there and he said the avg women should be riding a WSD. I should have been on a WSD based on my measurements, but it was impossible to get the right one in SA. The SA suppliers seem to bring in very few. Possibly due to the bike shops not marketing them properly and yes of course less female cyclists than guys. (oh but yes the WSD are often in shocking colours...pink, baby blue....but check the felt FW2...thats a winner..but they actually haven't even manufactured them yet in US..and sorry ladies, its not coming to SA ) But note that some bikes claim to be WSD like the Giant WSD 2007 - but its a fake, the geometry is exactly the same as the mens..only handlebars, levers etc different!!! The 2008 does have the correct geometry though! If bike shops are checking your measurements to see what frame size&geometry you need, then they should be recommending the WSD to most females, but for the shops who don't bother to do this(or the cyclist themselves who don't bother to get it done), then the shop will just try and sell whatever bike "looks" a right fit...usual lazy method is checking the standover!!! If I didn't do my homework I would have been sold a bike that was too big. After giving up on the WSD bikes, I had to settle for an XS mens and only Giant and Specialized had a small enough "XS"...my LBS said Giant SA didn't bother to bring in XS TCR's so I went with the specialized. So advice to ladies out there - go for measurements(from an experienced setup person) before you shop and don't be forced to buy something just cos its sitting on the shop floor!!
