Hi everyone, I'm a newbie in this forum and need some help. I've have been searching since 1/09 for the right WSD MTB (5'4" short torso, long legs & arms) and have narrowed my search to 2 WSDs; the Trek Fuel ex8 or the Gary Fisher HiFi Deluxe GS. The problem is that I have hit every LBS around the Phoenix area that carries these brands but they don't have the models in stock I'm wanting to ride and compare so that I can make a decision on which one I want to purchase. If I'm lucky they may have one WSD. The LBS have been very helpful in trying to accommodate me but I can't help but feel that they don't cater to our gender (in my opinion) and I'm not sure why. I even went to the recent Trek demo, which was an hour drive for me from home, only to find out they didn't have any WSDs! They said I could check on the website for the WSD demos but they aren't going to be anywhere near Phoenix on their schedule. I'm now thinking of going to the Specialized store (I did try a Safire and I liked it, but that was at the very beginning of my search) in hopes they will have more than one WSD for me to try. Sorry for the long description but am I alone in this frustration? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just wanna ride!!!
