I am lucky enough to have a custom bike builder in the house, so my road bike was WSD before anyone came up with the term. It has all the features here the ladies are talking about: shorter relative top tube, short-reach brake levers, narrow handlebars. I love, love, love it !

One thing no-one has brought up is short cranks. I know Trek is spec'ing "shorter" cranks on their WSDs, though I don't know what length. I have 165cm cranks on both my road and mt. bikes. For the record, I'm 5'3" and have size 6.5 feet. I bring up foot size, because that is a part of the total leg length that you use to get the pedals around. I experience greater efficiency in turning a smaller circle. When I have ridden a longer crank (since being on 165s) I feel a loss of power and efficiency, like my leg has to go too far and gets out of its power zone. Not exactly a scientific explanation, but it is something I have perceived. Just another thing to consider if you do wind up with a *men's* frame which you then customize to fit you.
