Well, for sure there are WSD coming out of Specialized for 2010, I was just hoping they'd make a bigger deal out of it. I *love* WSD details and geometry, and I was hoping to see what innovations were trickling down from the recent engineering into the women's lines.

From what I gather, the top-end women's bikes have split off into the Ruby and the Amira, with the Ruby being more comfy/endurance Roubaix-style and Amira getting more agressive Tarmac-style geometry and stiffness for the racers. This is a big deal, as it means they're not trying to do straddle both disciplines with one bike as they have in the past. That's not to say one cannot race on a Ruby, but it's nice to see women racers get the same attention to detail as the guys have had for years.

So, thinking that I might be in the market for a new frame soon, but I'll have to be patient until either the magazines pick up the story or it turns up in the stores. :P

-- gnat! (the pink is a nice touch, too, but I know I'm one of the few who has that opinion)
