I'm 5'10" and buying a new road bike. In addition to crazy long legs, I have a really long torso and wide shoulders. I have walked into a couple bike shops and had the salesman take one look at me and tell me to get a men's bike. I walked another, and the guy was hard selling a 56cm women's specific bike. I have always had men's bikes, and in my experience, "Women's Specific" stuff is chronically too small, so I am skeptical about buying a women's bike. However, I realize that bikes have come a long way recently, so I don't want to dismiss a good bike just because of my preconceived prejudices...SO my questions to all tall women:
What kind of bike do you have?
Men's or Women's?
Why?
Love it? Hate it?
