That's because Specialized is behind the times....

In reality the step through frame was so women could ride in dresses and skirts, however as pointed out it works for anybody that needs it...me included. For racing and touring applications the diamond frame is stronger and probably a better choice, for day to day riding and around the neighborhood run what ya brung!
