As a new rider I'm sure less knowledgeable than others, but today's (9/05) CyclingNews has a interesting question and answer about cycle position and fit for women. See http://www.cyclingnews.com/fitness/?id=2005/letters09-05#Positioning) and links to two articles from Steve Hogg (see http://www.cyclefitcentre.com/).

Thanks for posting those links. They seem at the outset to be a good argument for getting a custom bike, but you would have to go through a very good fitter, not just send off your measurements. A very interesting read.
