Road bikes designed for women

Mama Beane,

You may already know this--Stedman's in Wakefield carries Gunnars. I also posted a link to

in the "getting to know you" thread, but since you might not look there again, I thought I'd suggest it here, too . They're steel, and made right here in RI!

Can anybody personally recommend a great bike store in NYC?

I have been to almost every single bike shop in NYC. The only one I can recommend is NYC Velo: http://www.nycvelo.com/

My disclaimer is that I never actually had any work done there, but I've been there, bought accessories, test ridden bikes, and they were as sweet and friendly as can be.

RedRhodie,

Thanks, and yes, I am currently working with Stedman's. The place is fantastic. I had gone into another LBS in Newport, asked about steel, and was told "no one does steel anymore". Obviously not the place for me. Stedman's actually has a Waterford frame that's a year old which he is going to build up for me to see if I like it, and if it is the right size. If it's not, I'm planning on checking into the Gunnar sport. I would love to test ride one!
I have checked the Terry site, and will continue to do so. You can't have too many bikes, can you? Thanks so much for the link to circle a - I'm definitely checking them out as well.

Yes, I had a bike store OWNER in MA tell me that "they don't make steel bikes anymore, steel bikes are on their way out". Obviously he tells everyone that who comes in because he doesn't carry steel bikes and he wants to sell his inventory.
