I just forgot the name. They keep playing Annigram with the name. Domane. Madone. Emoneda. I guess next will be Dean Emo.

Often, I'm a 54 in women's, but a 52 or 50 in men's, and they are essentially the same size. That also shows they are just using men's sizing for the...

I found the numbers for the old Trek 2000 men's bike from 2003, on page 42 of this. No stack or reach numbers, but there is this: HTA: 73.0 STA:...

I am impressed that you found those numbers! And your understanding of frame geometry is also impressive, Sheila. I agree that it would make...

Ok, looks like the size 52 is comparable to your 2010 bike.. Trek checkpoint size 52 Stack: 549 Reach: 379 HTA: 71.6 deg STA: 74 deg HT:...

The story continues. The first ride with the new freehub was fine until I was more than 30 miles into it. This was typical of the mooing -- I...

OK, Geometry is on page 87. http://www.vintage-trek.com/Trek-Fisher-Klein-Lemond/2010trekroad.pdf I think it’s Reach: 373 Stack: 556 HTA:...

Thanks all for your input. This is my current road bike: 2010/trek/madone47wsd. This is the men's bike I had before it: 2003/trek/2000. I am...

Speaking of single speeds, did 23.3 miles of pavement on a beautiful fall morning, this morning. Almost seemed effortless to pedal those miles on...

I love the All City bikes for their frames. Very, very traditional, strong, but not overbuilt. Really bring out the best in the ride quality of...

Now, All City. Between Surly, Felt, and All City, I'd try to fit myself on All City. Beautiful and high quality. The Felt is very nice, too. But at...

This is most disturbing and sleazy... trying the shorter stem on my 48 cm men's bike made it squirrelly as hell. This was with the same handlebars I...

This Felt women's bike definitely has a shorter reach and higher stack than the Trek bikes. It looks like real women-specific geometry to me. It's...

The Vaya is not a Surly, it's a Salsa. Most of the Surlys have a fairly low stack. Which is my only complaint with them. All City is excellent, but...

NY, I remember discovering the same thing as far as the men's and women's frames having the same frame specs on my old WSD Domane. Thinking it was...

It should have an indicator whether its left or right on every bike pedal..

I bought the IZUmi cycling waterproof jacket still fine even over 3 years now.

At first I've been using flat pedals. But most of my friends are shifting into clipless pedals. They suggest that i should change too since its more...

I don't know. I don't know how to measure to get an accurate comparison. I am doing a live chat with Trek now. This is what they say: "We found...

How does the checkpoint compare to your trek that fits well?

Last night I compared the Checkpoints and one of the Domane carbon models -- men's and women's in frame size 54 (which is what my current bike is)....

That's why I wanted a Surly Karate Monkey and not a Fargo or Vaya. :)

I just decided, in the end, I didn't want another drop bar bike. Maybe a silly reason, but I wanted a bike that was substantially different from the...

Generally, women’s geometry means a shorter reach, and a higher stack. The Specialized diverge has the opposite. The men’s has a higher stack and...

But you went with a hybrid? I admit an around town bike is well suited for hybrids.

Cross bikes are notoriously not women specific, in that by nature, there is long reach and geometry to help go through sand, etc. Gravel bikes are a...

That gravel bike is the only thing i’ve seen from Trek that appears falsely women specific. They are usually amongst the best. That said, does it...

I cannot believe this would be true. My Silque (basically a WSD Madone) is not that old and there were definite differences in the geometry. I get a...

Wow, you are right. I don't think Trek makes different frames for women anymore. They just change the color and put on a women's saddle. Even the...
