Well, I am a big fan, as for my body they give the best combination of fit and handling. I have a 2005 titanium Isis and a 2001 steel classic (but upgraded to drop bars and ultegra/XT componenets). I have a long femur so need a bike with a slacker seat tube angle, which the terrys offer. With the 24" front wheel my bikes have 48-49 cm top tubes, which lets me use a normal reach stem and normal reach bars, rather than short reach, which gives great handling. I do find that the bikes as terry spcs them have shortish stems and bars, which is what makes them squirrely. Once you at least put a longer stem on them, they handle great. Some of the other brand bikes in my size I find are too stable for me, very hard to steer, so I do like a bike on the quicker side handling wise (to avoid toe clip overlap sometimes the head tube angle is slackened too much), or have toe clip overlap. I agree with everyone else though, I don't know what Georgena was thinking when she went to aluminum this year, although fast women still comes in steel. I also like that even Isis, my go fast bike, can accept a rear rack for occasional light touring. Isis is my go fast bike, and Athena (the classic) my commuter/loaded touring bike.
