That is a posibility. But remember, it is not just frame geometry. As I understand it, the brake levers/shifters on a WSD have a shorter reach that many women like / need. If you find a non-WSD bike that you like (fits you well), perhaps you could ask the LBS to switch the brake levers / shifter to a shorter reach (WSD) ??
