    I'm going to add my voice to those saying how well the Giant TCR and OCR fit...
    I have the Giant TCR in a small frame (I am 5'10") and it just felt right from the moment I went for my first ride.
    I had to get a different seatpost and it is extended out as far as possible as I have long legs... but wow, do I relish hoping on that bike...

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    My two cents...
    I've got a Cannondale R800 Feminine, which is several years old and fits perfectly. I'm 5'4'' and it's a 50 cm frame.
    This year I wanted to go faster, and bought a Cannondale Six13. It's not women's specific, so I went to a 48cm frame, which has a shorter top tube, and swapped the handlebars from a 40cm to a 38cm, and also got a shorter stem.
    I spent a long time with my bike shop getting the fit right. My advice would be to go with the best shop. Many of the bikes these days are similar, so it comes down to who you trust, who's the most knowledgable, and who offers the best customer service.
    And don't be afraid of aluminum. If that's what you can afford, there are plenty of bikes out there with a good ride.

    I have a scott contessa roadster -it (obviously?) is a wsd. I test rode the trek pilot 2.1 wsd, specialized dolce elite, bianchi eros donna, giant ocr wsd, lemond reno, a cannondale wsd of some sort, and a raleigh of some kind. I am a short stumpy person who needs the wsd - the regular design were too long for my arms. I was measured at two lbs.
