To round out your mass-produced bikes, Cannondale does have completely different paint schemes for the WSD bikes vs. the men's bikes, but most of them aren't what I'd call "girly." Some of them are. Most not.

Unfortunately I think it goes back to what another poster said. It's the homophobia, or something similar. Most men wouldn't buy something branded as "WSD" even if it was cosmetically identical to a men's design. Even if it was identical in fit (as unfortunately a lot of so-called "women's" gear used to be, and some still is). There's absolutely a stigma attached to being female or appearing feminine.
