Women's Mountain bike?

Rybo89 · 19 Jan 2012 at 16:26

Is there Any benefit for a women to have a women's mountain bike over a 'mans' mountain bike?

My girlfriend is looking into buying a bike so she can come out with me on the bikes. Looking to spend about £300ish on one. Plenty of bikes out there but only a few female bikes.

She would be fine in the long run with any mountain bike wouldn't she?

Cheers

Thanks guys, I didn't think there would be.

Can any of you recommend anything around the £300 mark? Preferably from Evan Cycles as I found this company brilliant to deal with when I bought my MB.

Thanks

That looks great mate but 23", wouldn't that be huge?

She's a short arse at 5ft3. should have mentioned this in my previous post.

Edit: yeah 76-78" is the only size they have in.

What about this?

Yeah I keep finding my self looking at this one. I love Kona, have a Kona my self.

Will ring Nottingham shop and see if they can get a 16" one in.

Went out and got her this earlier:

A rabbit lost its life tonight aswell. Made the girlfriend happy by buying her a bike then 15 minute later i was the most evil person on the planet because a rabbit decided to throw its self in front of my car whilst i was doing 60+MPH.... Can't win...
