They did not have a WSD, and of course as soon as I tried the carbon, I was like...WOW....I was looking for a 1500 WSD (not carbon), but they didn't have one in my size. I tried about 10 different bikes (it took all day) and the Trek 5000 was a great fit. And since it was the 2005 I got a really good price. I'm 47 years old, I think I have worked hard enough to deserve a little bit of comfortI added a JETT women's saddle, and that made a HUGE difference.
Hope to see any of you at a organized event!

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Welcome aboard!
The important thing is that your bike fits you, regardless of its gender. Have fun with "him"! When is the Tour de Pink scheduled? On these forums, you can find all sorts of info about training and preparing for a long ride, so look around.
