The truth is, a man who feels comfortable to ride a woman's bike is probably more self-confident than one who doesn't.

That goes without saying. It's not so much the womans bike that defines a man, rather it's the floral dress he is wearing.

Here's my Omega Mixte. Alice says the color is pink, but its really faded purple. You can see the original color where the front derailleur was. Its now a six speed.

It's great. The massive rake on the fork makes up for the steep headtube. Or something.
