OK, before I freak out--I'll try to rationalize: This happened to me in golf. A male recreational player has the same swing speed as a female pro, so they quit labeling some golf balls as "women's" and gave them new catchy names like "noodle." The result, of course, is shopping is more confusing (and yes, I hit a women's ball about 50 yards farther--frustrating).

Not all women need "wsd," (I do) and I am sure there are male recreational riders with a shorter reach. So maybe it's not a bad thing, as long as these frames are still available?!
