SMP!!! Interesting!!! A little while ago a couple of mechanics in the shop were debating on where to level the SMP carbon, the back, the nose... it was a funny discussion

Ha! That makes ME feel a LOT better, thank you!!! Every time I try and ride a so-called 'women specific' bicycle I find that the geometry does not fit me in any way. I don't know enough about it - but really I have always wondered about the WSD thing... Glad I'm in good company!

As per inspiring you to get a fitting service... here is some more temptation: my boyfriend decided to give himself the ultimate treat and we went and got him a wind tunnel session with the pro fitter. He wanted to check his TT bike setup to the millimeter!
Well, I was skeptical (never done wt testing before) but I have to say looking at the stats on the computer while they were testing him - a few mm made a lot of difference! It was quite expensive (about $1k for a few hours), but the back ache issues he had sometimes are completely gone, and he found out that he is much faster now. So all in all, he is very happy he did it.
