I just (two days ago) bought a scott contessa roadster road bike -wsd. I was all set to buy a bianchi imola (in the smallest available size)(really liked the steel, components, ride etc) - I had spent about a month riding various bikes - wsd and non wsd - all brands - I was leaning towards either bianchi (although I did not like eros donna) or trek pilot 2.1 wsd and I spent three hours at shop on Tuesday riding the scott and the bianchi - lbs was very good - changed out stem for me many times on bianchi (I think i tried every one in the shop) for me (middle aged, almost 5'2, fire hydrant build). During the fitting of the bianch -it became clear that the reach was just too long - lbs noticed it - tried some things, nothing worked - then I got on the scott and it was immediately apparent it was a better fit for me. Lbs guy even said he had always though wsd was more a marketing ploy but that he could tell before final adjustments fit was better for me. My main complaint is the stupid paint jobs on many wsds - even the one I got has got some swirly things on it - although it is at least grey in color so it doesn't look quite so goofy. I was irritated at pink, pastels, and flowers on a lot of the bikes (not that if it is what you want it is bad - I just hate the lack of choice and assumption that all women want bikes that look "girly")
