That's horrid. One of my local bike shops offers all the time to special order bikes just for me to try out if I so much as ogle them.

They know I only have eyes for my road bike, I suppose they hope I'd fall in love with the SO bike and buy it too but ... not gonna happen with my budget.

They have figured out that our money's the same color as the men folk and the tiny bike will get sold. If not to you, another rider.
