I'm a fan of the Orbea Diva as well! I'd love to have the BLUE one!
Though...it'd still be tough to decide which of the two I'd have to ride. LOL
Don't leave out the Giant OCR-C W from your consideration! I too am 5'6-7" and my bike fits me perfectly.
(I recently found that it takes off-roading quite well too! - right Wahine?) hee hee
edit:
I also love Shebeest clothing... great styles! LOVE LOVE the blue leopard jersey print!!2009 Giant Avail Advanced 1
2008 Trek FX 7.5 (Commuter)

Bianchis have class and a wide price range.
but you need to get some really really cool bikes too, like a Vanilla or a Mercian
to greet people as they come in the door.

Yay for BMC - they are some of the most beautifully made bikes I've ever seen. Not to mention they are from Switzerland
Try Nalini clothing too. and ZeroRH+ although I doubt they even distribute in the US. And Assos. They are expensive though.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Giant (we have 7 - 3 are for time trials, 4 are for road racing)
EMC (we have 3 - all superb road race bikes)
Cervelo (we have 1 - time trial)
Scott (this has been on wish-lists
Trek and Cannondale should be in a good shop of course, although we have none of these
We also have 1 Wheeler (training on-road), 2 Scorpios (one for TTs and one for road racing) + we also have a couple of mountain bikes and a couple of BMXs)
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Seven! "WSD" is irrelevant when a bike is an "Owner Specific Design"
Treks and/or Specialized are good for getting folks in the door. Everybody knows them. Everybody has them. Wide range of bikes in their lines - from the newb to the racer.
Gunnar or Surly for the cool kids.
Bianchi for the touring crowd who values beauty as well as a great ride.
And a good assortment of kids' bikes so folks don't feel like they "have" to get their munchkin's first bike from Target or WalMart.
As for clothes....I'd definitely put Terry on the list. Castelli and Descente, too. And Pearl Izumi for the same reason as the Treks.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm
