Just saying.  Otherwise, I cant help. I would say if it fits you, go for it.

I think the bike that fits you and that you feel most comfortable on is the best bike to buy for you.  I have a women's specific bike (the price was a steal) and I still needed a bit of adjustment when I got fit. Next time, I am not sure what I'll buy, but I do know I'll try out a more than just one bike.

I have a woman's specific and a "regular" bike and they both fit perfectly, with minimal adjustments.  You can easily get a non-woman's specific bike and it opens up way more for you to look at.  Try as many bikes as you can and it makes it easier to tell which bike is the bike.

What's your price range? I'm thrilled with my brand-new bike, but it's nothing fancy :-) If you mention what you're looking to spend, and what you've already tried, I'm sure you'll get great suggestions!

I bought that bike last year. I added aerobars and clipless pedals. So far so good. This is my first road bike though so what do I know?! The price was right, it felt good so I went for it. I don't have any complaints, just the typical cyclist feeling of what would my ride be like if I could spend x amount? If you have any specific questions PM me!
