I see this thread has been going for awhile but thought I'd throw my two cents in. I just bought my road bike almost a month ago. I was wary of road bikes for so long because I tried a friend's bike out years ago, a "men's frame" (although there were no women's specific frames, WSF, then....) and it was really uncomfortable. Fast forward to last month, ready to buy my first roadie. I test rode some WSF and loved them. I finally settled on a Fuji model from last year, got a great deal and have already put almost 300 miles on it. There are now a lot of companies that make WSF, so like everyone else has been saying, test a few out. Good luck!!
