Titus Cycles:

In recent years, almost every major bike company has come out with frames or bike models claiming to have female specific geometry. What most companies don’t realize is that there is more to properly fitting a female to a frame than just giving their bike a little more stand-over and/or a shorter top tube. A female specific design should take every aspect into account that can affect a woman’s experience on the bike. What this means is that getting the right bike starts with the frame, but extends to the parts as well. It is the entire package that will ultimately determine your overall experience on the bike.
