I kinda swore off carbon, until another LBS told me to just try it for the size. I really loved the Giant carbon ride.
Anyway, they make WSD (which are actually designed by women) and obviously non WSD. I'm riding the non-WSD since they didn't have WSD when they made this bike.
I echo rouge's post on the Giant thing, as I just spent the spring looking for a new bike and finally getting a carbon Giant TCR cw last month. Shimano tiagra components with some 105 mixed in, double, and compact cranks. I got a really good deal being that the bike is last year's model, so I didn't pay full price. I love the ride! Smooth as silk.
