I ride a small-size Giant Avail. It's the women's version of the Defy. While it does have some curly-cues on it, I changed the white saddle and handlebar tape to black to toughen it up a bit. The bike fits me really well (me=short torso, longer limbs) and only needed minor adjustments. In the end, I think it all comes down to geometry (WSD or not). I'm currently borrowing a 50cm Lemond and it fits me like a dream.
