So far I have been able to test ride a friends 16" Trek Fuel ex8 WSD and the men's 15.5" version, and I will say that I did not enjoy the shorter effective tube top of the WSD model at all. My friend who rides it has longer legs than me and it looks like it fits her well, but for me I found that my belly seemed awkwardly close to the handle bars and my arms were not engaged in my riding as I was very upright. The men's version handled beautifully however, and I very well may look to buy that exact bike off its owner. I would probably need to put a shorter stem and narrower handle bars on it, but I felt more engaged and balanced with the extra stretch of the longer tube.

One last question though... has anyone or does anyone ride the trek rememdy? The trek rememdy 7 would definately stretch my budget, but boy does it look like a fun ride!! Unfortunately no one around here has one that would remotely fit me, and all the stores sold out of them a while back so I'd have to wait til spring for a sample. Please let me know what you think if you've had any experience with one! Thank you!
