Which one would you pick if you were a girly girl?

1.

2.

3.

4.

 

[Tenchiro]

I like the wheels on 3

 

[stinkyboy]

A write in:

 

[Secret Squirrel]

This is a thinly veiled plea for help isn't it....it's okay, you can have the operation. No one will judge you...



I'm partial to #3 as well. Looks girly without going over the top.

It'll probably get you into her pants as well!

 

[Polandspring88]

My vote goes to number 1.

 

[Qman]

I'd need to see her on each one to decide.

 

[Zia Monkey]

Whats that thing hanging near the rear wheel of #2?

 

[splat]

While I like #3 the best ,since she actually plans on riding it , I would not go near #3. Radially laced rear wheel will not hold true, and radially laced spokes just in general gives a harsher ride.

a disconnected Coaster brake

 

[sam_little]

You live in Oly. Make sure you get her one with fenders, unless she is such a girly girl that it would never be ridden in the rain.

really?? Thats good to know. She rides to work and back, plus comes home for lunch every day. It will get lots of riding.

Yeah I was thinking that too, she has a rain suit that she wears now, so she's covered anyway but...

 

[antimony]

BV just taught me the word "fenders" so I could tell you I think they are ugly. I like bike 1 and the write-in.

 

[JRB]

I would want #2 with a #1 paint job.

 

[Snacks]

#3

Just enough pink...all pink is a little over the top.

#2 is my second pick.

 

[maxyedor]

Have you checked out the stuff Electra makes?
Of the options given I would go for #2

 

[HRDTLBRO]

I dig #3. ^Electra makes good stuff, we sold a ton of em' at my old shop, definetly check them out.

 

[.:Jeenyus:.]

Two45

 

[BAH]

I haven't checked out electra, thanks for the tip. The cool thing about those bikes is they are almost throw away at $120-$140!

 

[bjanga]

I like #1

#3 is the ugliest.

 

[jimmydean]

I like number 3 and I doubt the ride would be too harsh with cruiser tires.

The write in is nasty.

 

[Reactor]

Write in #2...

Onlu now it has a reba front fork, and XM-819 rims on Pink chris bling hubs.

 

[bjanga]

I showed my girlfriend this thread. She told me that the all looked the same. After prompting her again, she said she liked the teal one.

 

[laura]

i like number two, but i'm partial. i have a pink bike with teal tires. Teal is bitchin.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I voted #3, but I think I'd have to go with the Stinkyboy write in.

 

[peter6061]

Or you could try the Nirve, Paul Frank bikes...

I vote against any bike with 'colored' rims cus I remember how hard a time we had at our shop years ago trying to replace them when they died for whatever reason. Just get silver rims if this bike is actually going to get ridden.

Oh, and I went with #1 from your choices.

 

[MtnBikerChk]

sorry, I'm not "girly girl" enough to vote on those 3.

 

[N8 v2.0]

#2 is the one

good point. It definitely gets use. She hasn't driven once in the 2 weeks since I bought the first one!:love: Nirve has much more stylin bikes, now I have even more options, thanks

 

[peter6061]

Oh, and take a look at the Kustom Kruisers as well. Might as well have as many options as possible...

This is the one my wife has wanted for years. We just don't really have good places for cruisers around here so she sticks mostly to mtb.

And yeah, I know it goes against the rim 'rule' I spoke about, but she really liked it. Who knows, you might actually be able to get the replacement wheels nowadays.

Nice, got any more links??

Cruisers are great for around here.

Olympia is so bike friendly they are perfect

(From today) When you aren't on one of the many bike paths

The bike lanes are everywhere and bigger than the actual road

And where there aren't bike lanes, there are dire warnings to autos

 

[sneakysnake]

i believe that 3 is the girly-girliest

 

[maxyedor]

BAH, Olymia looks sweet!
But I am here to make your life harder, so here goes. Seing at how she comutes you may want to look at a comuter style bike or a flatbar road bike such as the ones from Marin, marinbikes.com. She will be able to comute just as well and then on weekends take it for longer rides, that a beach cruiser would be kind of poopy for.
