And possibly in the world, as most English speakers call it eggplant.
£120? If it gets too dirty buy a new one.

I predict that your ballsacks will shrivel and disappear if you park them anywhere near that bike.

thanks for all the replies,
I know it's an absolute steal. It was the ladies third bike, the front wheel was way out of line and the bar tape torn, seems she needed space so this one went. The wheel has trued up ok and bar tape is a few quid.
Any money would be better spent on a new front wheel or wheelset should it not stay straight. Looks like it had took a fair whack!
Maybe i can find some eggplant finishing kit too

If the bike fits............................... ride it
Planet X used to offer their (was it?)RT58 Carbon frame/forks in pink
If the likes of Wayne Randle, & Spencer Smith could ride them
Like this; http://www.planetx.co.uk/readers-rides/your-ride/q/2630121224_sol-w_pink-panther
I used to have an Orbit America, bought in 1990 (from the legendary 'Two Wheels Good' in Leeds!!), that was pink
And many other colours
It was ideal commuting colours
The image, leaning on the window, was probably the day of purchase
Yes!!, & a pair of those early carbon soled Shimano shoes (piece the size of a matchbox!!)

Let's get this quite clear. A mens' bike has a horizontal crossbar. A ladies' bike has a sloping crossbar. That's how you tell the difference. It's one of the key ways to tell the difference, like the way the buttons go on jackets and whether they wear skirts or trousers. If we start messing around with basic rules like this we are chipping away at the very fabric of humanity.

by which I mean, don't buy a men's bike, don't buy a woman's bike, simply buy a bike that fits you and suits your purposes...

How very dare you!
And anyway, it is a bike designed to the female physical characteristics - like it or not. Which is a good thing imo.
