I was wondering if i should get a Giant Rinkcon 2002- http://www.giant-bicycle.com/au/030....002&model=9641 But i'm not sure how to tell if its made for girls or boy, if there's such a thing. Maybe this is a really bad question, but is there any difference and how can you tell? Thanks |

The question is not "girls or boys" it is fit and feel. A Rincon is a good workhorse design for most non-competitive people looking for a trail capable rig. It has upgrade potential if you chose to expect more out of it, so it could be a long term relationship. Fit is best done with a professional on hand, as a good shop would do for you. Even if you do not buy it at that shop, they should fit-check you and allow test riding. |

Growing up, I always had what would be considered "boy"s bikes, and my guy friend had a "girl's" bike. His was bright red and mine were always dark blue. In all honesty, for him it was a good choice. He had some landings as a dirt jumper that were made a little easier with the lower bar . |

It's a stupid (strength wise) design anyway, so just avoid that and you'll be fine . |

SPDs (clip in pedals) make it easy to pull the rear wheel up and over too, instead of having to rely on it jumping of its own accord. |

I mentioned once that boys bikes are blue and girls bikes are pink. I also mentioned that the girls bikes have baskets and streamers from the ends of the grips. Then some viewer put a few pictures up of pink bikes!!! (no baskets or streamers).Then I got it from some chick about how hard it is for female mtb riders to buy a bike and accessories .So unfortunately, I cannot inform you on how to determine a boys bike from a girls bike. |
