Ugh, Crankin, I've gotten the same speech from my LBS, about how manufacturers (and shops) don't think women want to spend $$$ on cycling, so finding higher-end components and frames (and actually, pretty much anything!) for women is much harder--either on the manufacturer side (one of the bikes I've been looking at doesn't have a Ultegra-equipped women's version) or on the shop side (good luck finding a wsd with better than partial 105 on the floor!) He sympathized, but then said there wasn't really a market and that having one around would be a very expensive use of floor space.
