My two cents if you haven't bought one yet... An Australian company called Alchemy does a number of beautiful women specific bikes and ANNA MILLWARD - 2 times road world champion helped design them. They are the millward series of course. Come in everything from Shimano Sora to Dura-ace. I went for the Ultegra in February and it is aluminium frame with carbon forks and rear seat stays and it is a dream. Reasonably priced and the seat is incredible too. Love my Ciara, she is so beautiful.
