On another forum I belong to, a young man spoke up in horror that an LBS had actually suggested that he get a WSD bike. The responses of the men were quite simple - if his body needed that geometry then there was nothing wrong with it. If it was too "girly" then he could get it powder-coated if he really had to. Then several of the men pointed out the pink found on some of the TDF riders kits and, apparently, there are a few male pro racers with pink bikes. They seemed to be having fun with this - but they made their point to the young man - he needs what will fit him.

The discussion was interesting. I think that, perhaps, another name could have been given to WSD bikes that wouldn't make it seem like it was only for women.
