Ladies Bikes - What are you riding?

@ elaine, it depends what the bike is for

Someone came in the shop today (a friend of the shops, really) and is selling his BMX.

It took all my strength not to buy it and complete my stable...

is like drugs!!!

Head tube angle is very important for smaller riders, quite often they make the angle very slack so that they can fit 700c wheels onto a tiny frame. Not a nice ride, though.

I doubt bigger wheel would make it easier and faster to be honest, my commute on my 20" wheel bicycle is pretty much the same as my 700c bicycle.

Concerning 700c wheel on a tiny frame, wouldn't the short top tube mean that there's a bigger chance of toe overlap? (even on normal frame).

Small bike, small rider, small feet = no toe overlap

Not a prob even on my 46cm frame with 700c

Aaaaaaarrggh. I'd LOVE a BMX. Take me back to my yoof. (I never had one.)

And I'm too old for a BMX but could "buy it for my son"...

Jenny, it's at the shop, it's £80 and it's a 24" wheeled cruiser.

It's black, and it's awesome.

It's only £80!

Sorry, it's killing me not to buy it. But 11 bikes would be too many.

in fact, i'm going to properly stop listening and log out

(will check in the shop next weekend)

come on jenny

A few stupid questions:

Are or why are OTP that hard to find for girls? What is the problem? Is it the physical shape of the frame ie wrong BB to top tube lengths or is it something else and can you say what?

girls are clever that they like building their bikes

mary had a little lamb little lamb little lamb ..

There is a myriad of WSD design problems, Specialized do a great job of outlining how they tackle designing for women on their website.
