I just bought a Trek WSD Madone 4.7. I race, and I love the stiff responsive ride it gives me, and it descends very nicely! My mechanic (free lance ) did tell me when I was looking to buy the only thing he would warn me off of was the small Orbeas (I ride a 48 trek) He said for some reason the smaller Orbeas were rather squirrely handling bikes. I must agree they are very nice looking bikes! I loved my Ruby before I crashed her. The ride was more cushy - I'm getting the seat stay repaired, and will use her when I go on long tours and as a backup bike. The Trek is a faster feeling bike. Have fun looking, and a test ride in your size is a must IMO. Tokie (ps I'm 5'1.5" with a 27 inch inseam)
