Question:

To use a Women's step-through frame bike on the Swagman Dispatch, part # S44FR, you have a couple of options.
The first is to position the bike so that the frame clamp is able to make contact with the bike closer to the handlebars. This will require you to make sure that the frame clamp is tighter than normal so the bike doesn't escape during travel.
The other is to use a frame adapter bar like part # 64005 to provide a flat surface for the frame clamp to rest on and work as though it would on a bike normally.
I've attached a customer picture of this second option so you can get an idea of what it looks like.
