Can get a smaller model for short people. Can even put smaller circumference tires on it. Lightweight, climbs hills nicely.

Trek 5000 WSD 47cm for shorter riders. I am 5'1" and getting a good fitting bike was difficult. I got the smaller circumference tires and am very pleased. I live in a hilly area and this bike climbs with ease. Holds well on gravel roads too. Lightweight, easy to handle, and sharp looking. Very fast on pavement.

Oh my god. After advocating nothing but steel for years, I can finally see how outdated my thinking has been. I seriously thought they had re paved my favorite downhill because the frame and fork ate up every bump in the road.

Front end felt a little floaty on steep, fast descent. Overall weight of the bike is a bit heavy.

Purchased used after a long hard search for a used, mint, carbon fiber, ultegra equipped road bike. Narrowed down choice to a trek or the giant ocr carbon.

Light frame. Good geometry for typical female- long leg, short torso. Reasonably good gruppo.

Came with a triple, and jumped rings! Even after tune ups, basically was only happy working in 2 of the 3 rings.
Pretty heavy wheelset.

This is a great bike for someone just looking toward getting serious into riding. With a shorter top tube, it fit me better than other options, and the carbon frame gave a nice ride!
Decent components (mostly ultegra) work well and true. I rode this bike from my first cat 4 race, and loved how it handled, especially in crit riding!
