I know WSD is specifically designed for women but I am not fully convinced if men cannot ride this with few adjustments. I do not care about WSD label (which can be covered using tape) or its Blue/White color of 5.1 WSD ; As LBS promised to work on fitting adjustments for me as needed.
I am inclined towards 5.1 as better value & need your opinion.
What is the better choice?
Thank You!
A few months back I bought my wife a new, 2011 Madone 5.2 WSD. The idea was that we would go riding together. Now she tells me that she does not want to ride it anymore and the bike is gathering dust, hanging from the garage ceiling.

It makes me sad to see such a nice bike not getting used. My wife is only a tad shorter than me and I am sooooooooooo tempted to change a few of the components and just start riding her bike.

It is those darned pink frame details that are keeping me from riding it though.

Arggggggggggggg
