lunamander said:I will NEVER buy a pink bike, one with flowers, other STUPID things they put on women's bikes that would be "suitable" for a small child. ( But then I wouldn't get one of these stereotype reinforcing things for my daughter either.) as soon as I see tha I do not look at buying them.
Women are interested in cool, just likethe guys. I want classy, sleek, and techno looking (silver, hand brushed titanium, black, white --(BTW, neutral stuff that goes with any clothing...after all its a lot more interesting to play with your clothing colors and a lot less permanent!) or deep brilliant colors (like bright red).
These are what they give guys, cool stuff not cutesy stuff...just like commercial clothes, women's suck and men's are classic and durable. (Not that I want any of the stupid things they put on boys bikes either like graphics of flames).
Every woman I've ever bike shopped with has felt the same way and avoided those cutesy bikes.
This concept of woman-specific bicycle graphics is awful. Does every sport STILL have to be dumbed down and made acceptable for females (as opposed to WOMEN),
Why would any thinking woman spend a boat load of money on something so cutesy that looks like it was made for a 6-yr old?
Whew, thanks for letting me get that out!
you dont ...will have to bring you back to the factory ......endurancemom said:I do NOT like the girly girl colors as I call them (no offense to anyone that likes those colors, just my opinion lol). The darker the better for me. However, I also like the bright racing yellow color - which I found in my very first road bike I just bought a couple weeks ago - the Giant Rapid 3.
