What do you think about WSD?

I have a WSD and I love the detailing on it. I recently changed the bartape and bottle cages from pink but I love that my bike has some pink in it.

With black tape:


With pink:


You can see the pink better in this:


That being said, I now know that my long body and short legs are more compatible with men's bikes. I think we have done well making this one work for me though.

No worries, we've seen all kinds of relationship stuff on this board.

And look no further if you want to have people justify/enable the idea of having more than one bike!

I got nothing to add about the specific bikes you're looking at, I just hope you have an LBS that you like, with a good fitter. Looking forward to seeing what you end up getting!

I have similar proportions. But I am small and have small hands, so the components on my WSD Cannondale work for me. I never tried a men's frame, so I can't compare. Next bike for me will likely be a men's/unisex cyclocross frame, which I hope we can spec out with short-reach components.

I am 5'7 with long arms and big hands. One of the guys was commenting that my drops are so short that there is nothing behind my hand when I am in them. I laughed and told him it was my big hands. But really I assume that is another WSD thing. Again, it's not terrible but if I get carbon bars I may look for ones with more reach.
