What Indy said. There are women who buy and FX and just ride the dickens out of it for years, there are others who outgrow it pretty quickly. My first bike was 7.6 FX WSD and for several reasons only had it for about 7 months, rode it for about 5 of those months.

Test ride, test ride, and then test ride some more You may find yourself falling in love with a different type of bike than you anticipated purchasing - and as others have said - road bikes are not automatically wobbly. A bike that fits you properly is a dream to ride, regardless of the type of bike
