I ride a WSD Trek 6700 for mtbing. My cross bike is a Fuji Cross Pro (not women's specific) and my road bike is a lowly little Trek 1000 (also not a WSD).
Although I am only 5'4", I've got decently long legs and fit mens bikes okay. I like the fit of all of my bikes. The boyfriend (who's family owns a local bike shop) says, "They work".
My advice is to ride everything, take notes, narrow down your list, and ride some more.
I didn't help did I?

I ride a custom bike. I guess it's WSD because I'm longer in the leg and shorter in the torso and I'm less than 5'4"
My bike was made by guys who live in my town. I like that very much. There are things I don't like about my bike, but they are minor; and today when i was sailing down the road at 19mph (tailwind
) there wasn't a bike in the world I'd rather have!

I'm currently on a Salsa Ala Carte - nice regular steel frame. I've regularly been on men's frames due to my body geometry.

I have four mountain bikes. Only one is wsd frame, and that is only because it was the right bike at the right price at the right time at the right shop. I did not "intentionally" go looking for wsd.
