    Doesn't WSD refer specifically to Trek? I think it's a trademark.

    WSD - I will always think of Georgena Terry.

    Yes. Um...no. That inspired my bike's name (Oberon) and orange bar tape, though.

    I know, I thought it was a weird name too.

    But there are definitely worse body parts you could name a bike after.

    My Felt FW40 is only girly where I made it girly... I'd call the saddle bag girly (I got it from TE) and the bar tape has hints of pink... but the stock tape was black.



    It does have some tiny details with flowers around the "Fit Woman" logos (like the top of the seat stays where the black transitions back to orange), but they're maroon colored, and tiny, so it doesn't really immediately scream "girl's bike" at you.

    I adore my Felt

    HOWEVER, I currently have this Trek (it's an '06 model, and a men's bike, and not the same size as the image..) at my house and apart from the horizontal top tube (which means less standover height), the "fit" is very similar on the two.. I can ride either just fine.. my felt at a 47cm frame has a 52.5cm top tube, and the felt is a 50cm with a 53cm top tube.. the difference is fairly insignificant.. easily fixable, anyways. I'll be riding it when I visit Hawaii in two months, then leaving it for my sister... it's "her" bike, and we expect it will fit her fine too (with some tweaking).



    And yes, we both happen to really like orange

    OMG, it's my favorite color! *swoons* If I could have a custom bike it would be orange with flames. And maybe red handlebar tape. *sigh*
