Others actually do. And many people like yourself claim it is just a big myth that some women need a specialized bike (men too). My wife is one: long legs short torso. I'm seven inches taller, but our legs are close to the same length. We compromised last time 12 year ago because the only carbon frame was in men's sizes. Got a too small frame for the shortened top tube AND a Terry steel stem for the height and to bring in the handle bars even more. She now has 56K miles on this bike that "fits", but is really too short and twitchy.Oclvroadbikeriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566385037220413170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788299658222970244.post-79160674290923343172011-08-12T03:30:37.672-07:002011-08-12T03:30:37.672-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788299658222970244.post-65411155027382022722011-08-04T14:54:00.749-07:002011-08-04T14:54:00.749-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Ruud Van Den Akkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757521768779705753noreply@blogger.com
