there she is - I pick her up tonight. and I still can't believe I went and bought a brand-new road bike. an honest-to-pete never been ridden before, feels like it was built just for me bike. The bike is a she, no name yet - I've only test ridden her but I gotta tell ya, I now understand what all the hype is about the WSD frames. I've always ridden mens bike, for years that was the only choice one had. The 89 Trek 1100 I'm riding right now is a 50 cm mens and I love that bike and have put Many Many miles on him but he was still just a titch too tall. The new one? A 47 cm. I had them set the seat kinda sorta near the height I like, hopped on and thought I was in a recliner. Man what a sweet ride......and the handlebars were all wrong and the seat was just a touch too high. We had to take all the spacers out of the stem in order to get it low enough, lowered the seat to my preferred height, and rotated the bars down slightly. Every time I climbed on her the ride just got better and better. She's having the brake cables switched right now, Look pedals put on, I'm changing out the seat (someone needs to tell Bontrager their seats are NOT built for riding LOL {heck even Lance doesn't ride a Bontrager saddle}), a computer and I'll pick her tonight. Everyone Please pray we don't get rain Today in my lovely state, I want to take her out for a spin when I get home.............
someone pinch me please, I still can't believe I just bought a brand, spanking new bike......................Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

(yup it's a 2007, they had Just got it in and the owners let them display it coz it was the only 47 they had in stock, well until I came along......now they don't have Any 47s in stock - again! lol)Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby!

Yay for new bikes! Here Here!
In fact, I'm almost positive I saw this bike, the cute looker in the corner, sporting that sleek 47 frame. I test rode a, ahem, 57 Trek 1000 wsd and really liked it - that was a few weeks ago.
Like you, I can ride a men's bike but have really noticed how the subtle changes on a woman's bike make it way WAY better.
I'm happy for you - new bike, just waiting to be ridden up and down Tramway or wherever else you venture

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll have many, many happy miles on her! Let us know when you decide on a name.
I know what you mean about the Bontranger saddle - my Trek came with one too but it didn't stay on for long.

Congratulations!! It looks lovely! Just curious what your height is - I was wondering if the women's bikes work well for taller than average women??

Congratulations!! I hope you enjoy your Trek 1000 WSD as much as I love my Trek 1000.
Enjoy every ride on her.

I tried a 47, I really tried to convince myself a 47 was perfect. SIGH. I am a 50, and as soon as I tried her, I just new. I assume it is the same with your bike. Enjoy her! If you come up with good names let me know. My bike is sadly, nameless. I am taking her out now-I was too ill to ride the last two days. Originally Posted by CorsairMac
