That is one hell of a bike. Really good looking. I seriously do not know what they do different in a woman's bike though. Is it like a shorter reach maybe? Maybe i should try a woman's bike for my weird physique next time, as i have always used a head tube/stem extender in all my bikes. I still cant ride my bike without it and the bike actually is the recommended size for my height. Anyway, sorry for ruining your thread. I wish you both many many thousands of miles without any hassle and discomfort.
