Pinarello FP3 vs...uh....vs?

the frustration i have had with Italian bikes is that they don't make bikes that fit smaller women very well. This is totally crazy since Italians ARE shorter than average than americans and of course Italian women are shorter than average too.

I agree. I don't get it. But then, I don't get that Shimano's hoods are so freaking bulky. Italians and Japanese are smaller folks.. you'd think their stuff it'd be more comfy for women.

Alas, I think it is the racing element of the design process that gets us.

KenyonChris, do like Maillotpois (sp?) did and get a Pegoretti love. I'm not sure how it is for all day comfort but I've heard it's a rocket! I'm kind of a Pegoretti groupie now...
