Women's bikes and fitting
I often see threads suggesting to women to try mens bikes to determine which fit is better. Has any of us guys tried out a womens bike? potentially it could fit better, no?
I recently took my GFs trek 1.2 WSD down the street. It is much too small, but the seat was actually really comfortable. It sure isn't racey, but i could see it being nice long distance. I must have woman hips

I don't have woman hips, but the shorter top tube to the seat tube to the head tube size is more comfortable if you have shorter torso or arms to leg length proportions.
