just curious... Why do you want WSD? Have you tried it? Or do you just like the concept? WSD ( at least of fishers and trek) is designed for a very specific female body type, a certain torso/ inseam ration which, if you happend to fit into that range ( long legged, short torso ) it will fit you great. If you have a balanced torso/inseam ratio or a long back, chances are you may not like the fit. Some of the features that they put on the WSD bikes like narrower handle bars, different length cranks and so on, can be added to any bike.

There are companies out there like Santa Cruz which build women's frames, but the term WSD I think is trek/fisher specific. I'd suggest you try a lot of different bikes for size and not be locked into a certain idea. I ride a 15" Kona which I guess is a men's frame as Kona doesn't do womens' frames.

Aslo, my Kona FS weighs in at 25# which is pretty light for a FS.
