A warning about Campy, there is still a problem reaching the brakes from the drops. Shimano has a shim that brings the brakes closer but Campy doesn't. To me it is only an issue on long downhills where I need the power to slow myself down. When I lived in Ohio I didn't break from my drops, only over the hoods.

I know how frustrating this all seems, the bicycling market still does not adequately serve the needs of women.
Kathi,
on friday i am getting Eva handlebars put onto my bianchi for this very reason.
It shortens the distance between the brakes and the bar.. we'll see. I put the new handlebars side by side with the old ones and i still couldn't tell.
I'll let you know how it goes.
