    I like being tall except for when I shop for clothes and shoes.
    I ride a Specialized Ruby Comp, frame size 54 cm. Women's specific. Professional bike fitter says that is is "just right".
    It's easier to find men's stuff - bikes and shoes - than women's in my size. I had to purchase men's Sidi's.
    I feel some of Flybye's pain...(though she didn't really sound like she was in pain). I am 5' 10 1/2" with a size 11 foot. They dont even make a woman's cycling shoe in that size. Most top out at 42.5 maaaaybe 43cm. So it's off to the men's shoes which never really seem to fit right.

    Bike? Kuota Kebel, (56cm, not WSD). Again, they don't make a WSD large enough for someone of my vertical stature. But that isn't really a problem because the only real difference on a WSD are things that really don't apply to me anyway, (smaller hands, shorter legs, shorter reach...) I love my Kuota and I have from the first day I pushed on the pedal for the first time.

    It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman in possession of a bicycle, must be in want of another one.
    My current love is a Kuota Kebel. Maybe I need a Kuota Kalibur so I can be more aerodynamic...

    My poor husband....
