Coming from an industry background I will say it's a real catch 22. It's not cost effective to make a big selection for women, if people don't buy it. There's a good discussion of this at mountainwoman.com. It takes a lot of bucks to develop a line with no guarantees that women WILL buy from a selection offered. Or,what they DO develop will not have what YOU were looking for...
Some niche companies (look at Title 9 amd moving comfort) have had some success catering specifically to women, but look at their prices too... they have to keep them up in order to maintain the margin.


note: I think you need to find a new bike shop where they treat you better.
