I have two Trek WSD (road and mountain) and love them. They fit so much better than the men's bikes in the same size. When I bought the Trek 520 touring bike it didn't come in WSD so the bike shop changed the stem and seat post to give me a better fit. For smaller people the WSD design is wonderful.

One of the male members of our cycling club bought a WSD bike and loves it.
