Why Why Why?

 

What on earth went through their heads when they decided to do the decals for the ladies Vipa in PINK? Surely they could have asked a female who actually rides sigle track what colours would work?

 

Anyone harcore enough to want this frame does not want to relive her 8 year old childhood fantasy of being a princess. The only way to make it less appealing would be to add a basket and streamers to the handle bars.

Bogus can make it oh so pretty for a small fee. I'm not sure what this magician charges, but I would gestimate two sticks ex postage.

Go have a look on the Momsen website and compare the geometery of the Vipa with the ladies Vipa, and you will find out it is EXACTLY the same bike, just a different paintjob. So just buy the normal one, or if you want a real womens specific bike look at the new Specialized Era. What a machine.

Was wondering about that

The industry-wide MTB trend of supplying "women's specific" bikes and gear in pink and white is quite ridiculous. As if mud does not stick to two X chromosomes. I have yet to hear a grown woman declare that pink is her favourite colour. So I get that this can be insulting. However, since the men's bike has exactly the same geometry and can be bought instead, the only real issue is the horrendous paintjob on the men's bike! :cursing: Black with red accents is soooo common, but the gold chequered flag and gold accents look "kommin". The women's bike is probably the more attractive of the two!
