Road bikes designed for women

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.
