Other than the woman specific variations, the components and accessories look to be pretty much the same.
Could be an overstock of 2010 frames or the jig has not yet been made for the 2011 Ruby.
It is generally the shorter women that find the WSD frames more comfortable. They do not suit all women but if that is the frame that works for you- then go for the Ruby. WSD bikes do not only have differences in frame Geometry. Some of the Components are changed aswell such as short reach brake levers for the smaller hands- Bar width and saddle.
