BMC have an adults "womens specific" bike that is called, I kid you not, the SPARKLE! :shock:

Are they serious? Or do they, like me, try to see how many people you can wind up in one go!

What do you think would be the best name for a woman's bike...

    Given the Cove name all their bikes after sexy things (handjob, hummer, STD, stiffee etc), I could imagine a Hardtail called the vibrator.

    I'm actually surprised they ve not done that yet...

    well if men get the GT aggressor, why not sparkle to even the field. Or should it be the battered wife?

    I bet it's got some pink, lilac or purple paint on it somewhere as well like all WSD bikes do? In fact I think that's what differentiates a WSD bike from a normal small frame (well, that and a special saddle designed for larger backsides!)
  • They're coated in special anti nag paint, it reduces the amount you hear by 29% as they complain the bike doesn't have a basket.

    Spot on.

    Actually that would be a good name for the saddle :shock:

    Giant have a WSD 'lifestyle' bike called...

    THE SIMPLE

    Not too many gears on that one, just six I believe :D

    Who in their right mind would BUY a bike called simple?

    Cube Attempt !? What a lame name that is ! Might as well be called the Cube "Had a go, didn't get on with it...now on ebay"

    As I may have mentioned before, Kona* is the name that gets me, you can get a full range of merchandise with that name on, imagine walking around portugal in a beanie hat with Kona on it!


    *Kona (with a c not a k but pronounced the same) is the c word here! :shock:

    Some of Cube's names read like they just bought an English dictionary and picked out names at random ('Agree''? 'Editor'??).

    And this one is presumably popular on the Commuting forum: http://www.cube.eu/en/tour/cls/cross-lady/
