Will this work with two bikes with women's frames? The photo shows men's frames - which have the straight bar across instead of the angle.

Yes. I have my daughter's women's frame bike on one of them, although I have hers a little tilted downward because of the frame, so it doesn't look as straightforward as men's frames. That said, the supports are adjustable, and they have rubber covers to grip even at the odd angles, so it can handle women's frames.

Yes. I have managed to load mountain bikes, road bikes, kids bikes (of various sizes) and a women's bike with no cross bar. Worse case scenario is you can get a cross bar attachment like this one: Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor

No, some will fit on the regular way, I have two that will not so I just put the bikes upside down it holds them fine.

There is an adapter Prorack sells for use with female "no crossbar" bikes. I have found I can hang a female bike safely by just modifying where I attach the holders. No tools and no trouble. Call Prorack if you must have the adapter.

The unit adjusts to a variety of angles since very few tubes on a bike are truly horizontal or vertical. As you can see in the product photos it can be angled a lot or none at all. I can't picture a tube angle where this unit wouldn't work.

It will be whatever angle you want to it be - it all depends on how you bolt it on your bike. I believe it's the exact same one that comes with the trailer. We have bought 3 of these and they have all worked fine.

A women's or "step through" frame should fit but will hand at an angle with the rear wheel considerably lower than the front. Play around with the contact points between bike frame and rack to see if there is a better hanging method. Another solution is to buy what is known as a virtual top-tube, a add-on bar that acts as an extra frame piece allowing all frames to mount on a rack

Yes, you do. You would also need the bar attachment for a men's bicycle that is angled as well.

I had a men's road bike and a women's town bike and they both fit fine. The rubber "cradles" that hold the bikes swivel so they can rotate to accept the angled seat post and angled front frame of the women's bike. Had to figure it out, but it all worked in the end.

Although the bike cradles do rotate, it's not enough to accommodate a typical adult lady's bike. An added adapter bar for the girl's bike does work. The rack does not easily accommodate smaller bikes since the cradle/rack may be to big to fit through the center of the smaller bike without considerable effort.

We used this to carry one mens and one womens mountain bike. I bought the extra travel bar to fit on the womens bike and it was fine. I would recommend buying the extra bar for both bikes. It should be fine with that addition.

While I don't have the specific bike in question, it should work on most bikes *except* full suspension bikes. It uses a pretty straight-forward clamp that is intended to fit vertically at the rear-most part of the frame, right before the drop-outs: http://www.intownbicycles.com/images/bicycle-terms/bicycle-frame-tube-names.jpgSince this joint moves on many full suspension bikes the clamp would bind the joint.There are other potential gotchas like how cluttered the area is and the angles of the frame that are hard to predict fitment without familiarity with the bike specifics.-john While I don't have the specific bike in question, it should work on most bikes *except* full suspension bikes.

My bike is a mountain bike with a sloped spine, and the bike is slanted, but still works fine. Others have talked about the adapter bar working just fine for them, but I haven't needed it and don't use one, so I can't tell you from personal experience. Sorry.

Yes (that's what I have), but they are junk. I returned them. There is a lot of flex in them, so putting a bike on them will cause a lot of side to side sway as they will torque the bars. They are also curved upwards, so the bikes will lean outwards. They would work fine however for something like a roof box.

Yes it will, in fact it's more stable that way. I have two bikes on my rack and it works quite well. A small trick you can use is to wedge the bottom of the rack on the front center of the base(perhaps a piece of cardboard or a wooden wedge) so that the top will lean backwards a bit against the wall.

I have a female bike, not a cruiser, a mountain bike, and mine fits fine. You do have to angle it just right and it sits on the rack at an angle, but it has never been a problem for me and I feel like my bike rides securely. I have even used it going down the interstate and never felt like it wasn't secure.

Per the Saris website, they make a bike beam for bicycles with a sloping top tube (or women's bike). I would suggest contacting saris for recommendations and more information.
