Is there a heap of female specific equipment we should be thinking about?
Nope. None of my touring equipment is female specific ... unless you count my clothing, and not even all of that is female specific.

When your wife goes out looking for a bicycle, she should look for one that fits her. It may end up being a female specific bicycle, but it may not.
