Well, if it is the most comfortable -- and that is your top priority --
I guess it is right for you.  One does sacrifice when getting a "girl's"
frame (one with a lowered bar, not to be confused with a "woman's" frame
as is found on some mid range mountain bikes).  The frame is either weaker
than the men's variety, or heavier than the men's variety, or often both.
