What do you think about WSD?

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.

Just shows how different people and bikes can be. I'm (newly discovered) short torso, long limbs and yet found I'd have to get a shorter stem, smaller bars and possibly the Shimano levers or reposition the ones already on it to make a better fit on the Giant Avail XS.

Looking forward to trying the Trek 1.2 XXS and the Surly LHT. I wonder what tweaks would have to be made for those?


Veronica - you and your beloved have things worked out but that doesn't appear to be the case with Lesley although I'd love it if she got her bike with or without his 'approval'
