I am ready for my first road bike

All nice bikes.

I would like to make one comment about your problems with the Mountain bike and WSD:

Don't base a "need" for WSD on an ill fitting Gary Fisher. His mountain bikes are KNOWN for their longer top tubes...even for men. Do look at WSD by all means, but don't be afraid to test ride the similarly sized "men's" bike as well.

O, and if you have a Scott dealer around you I'd at the Speedster (both unisex and feminine) to your list of bikes to try.

OMG true that! I met Gary Fisher in person and have somewhere in my mess a pic of me standing next to him he's 6'7"! Hence the longer top tubes on his bikes!
I remember trying one out when I was looking for a MTB it was an X-small and I so wanted that bike but it was too big for me and I'm 5'4" so not really short for a woman. I ended up getting a small Trek and it fit fine.

LOL I just had to comment on the GF long tube thingy, he's a cool dude in person, very friendly!
