Ladies / Women's Bike Fitting

it's also worth noting what Scherrit told me about bar width, the narrow bar does fit women, but women tend not to have that strong an arm as men does, and may find a wider bar easier to hold onto while sprinting for instance.

I put a 40cm bar instead of a 36cm on the missus' bike and she now able to stand up and sprint with confidently, and does so more often.

interesting. i like my arms out in front though, no wider than my shoulders. Am prepared to try a few variations though...
