    Eh, I've talked to any number of LBS sales people over the years to know that some of them don't know their product lines very well. A few weeks ago, someone tried to convince me that a particular company's WSD FS bikes had short top tubes/standover than their unisex counterparts. No, actually they don't but thanks for the helpful salespitch.

    Now, don't get me wrong; it's hard to commit that stuff to memory year and year. I get it to some degree, but I think they should be careful in making geometry generalizations.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Indy, so true! My only "WSD" bike has identical geometry to the company's unisex "comfort carbon" geometry....and a girly paint job
