Where Have All the Women's Bikes Gone? A Look Inside an Ever-Changing Market
My wife (5' 5", wide shoulders, shorter legs, long torso) fits her Bronson, and her Stumpy before that, perfect. But, she had to swap out the saddles (too narrow for her sit bones). And grips are a huge issue, standard grips meant she always has a whack of grip sticking out with her finger on the brake levers. Finally found some grip shift grips and that did the trick. I'd agree 100% that stems, bars, seats, etc. make more difference than the frames, but I'd argue that will be true of many men too.
And she loathes all chick marketing, ie pink and flowers.
