Thanks goodness they have created a beefed up women's race bike!

A friend of mine who is riding at elite status and is trying to get to the Commonwealth Games had an S-Works Ruby- well she is a total powerhouse in the legs (she is a great time trialist) and ended up having to swap her Ruby for a men's bike- the bottom bracket flexed (so much that other riders thought it was broken) and the rear end wagged.

I know how she felt, I have noticed my 2008 Ruby if you really power up it feels like the rear end is going to skate from underneath you.

It is a bit early yet for a total reveal- real bikes (the one in the article will be the final prototype/sample) normally only get out of the factory in late July/August (and that's just medium sized display models for bike shows and overseas distributers). Catalogues are September. Ex-industry girl.
