as per the title, I have a road bike with thin tyres which I enjoy riding but I'd like to get something a little sturdier.
I'm a tad under 5'2" so really need a small frame, around 16 inches or less the choice appears to be rather limited when you are shorter:(
I know specialized have a good range of women specific frames but even they dont appear to have drop handle bars with thicker tyres.

What are all you other shorter women riding?

For touring I have a Revolution Country Traveller in the smallest size. It's not female specific, but I prefer the longer reach on a men's frame.
