Is the Specialized Sectour Double 2014 a men's bike. Can a women ride a men's bike? I am looking for a woman's bike. And I found a 2014  Specialized Sectour double. Is this a men's bike? If so what are the disadvantages of a women riding it ?
I sold Specialized bikes for a lot of years, they do make gender specific frames, women's bikes have shorter top tubes relative to the seat tubes, this is because women on average have shorter backs and longer legs than men do, they also come with womens saddles, and sometimes women specific grips (for feminine hands). The Sectour is considered a men's frame. Not everyone is built the same though, my wife rides a men's frame because she is really tall in the body. The only other difference between men and women's Specialized frames is that women's frames sometimes have "girlier" colours and paint details.
