    WSD: Bianchi or Look Elle

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Have any of you ladies ridden a bike with the 2009 Bianchi WSD carbon frame or the 2009 Look Elle frame? I am probably going to get a frame and add my own Campy stuff to it. Thanks.

    There is someone on the forum that has the Look 585 Elle. I think it's last year's. I'm not much for carbon fiber, but the Look is one of my fantasy bikes.

    The 585 Optimum has the same geometry as the 585 Elle.

    Edited to add: fidlfreek is the one with the 585

    I don't do well on women specific design - but I have used the 2009 928 carbon SL for about a week. It is very responsive, light and fast - and the fact that they decided to go with the non-curved fork on this one adds to responsiveness. Very nice ride.
    Never tried the Look elle. I did test ride a 2008 595 origin and liked it - but I remember it gave me the same impression as the Giant TCR advanced, like if they had willingly sacrificed a little bit of responsiveness for the sake of comfort. In other words it looked less rigid than I would have expected. Not sure it makes sense but this is all I can remember
