I took it out for 6 miles as soon as i got it and MY LORD it was allot fun. although its like 40F outside hahah but to clarify how can you distinguish a male frame from women? is it the horizontal bar as opposed to the slant?
Where I am I rarely see women riding bikes that have a "womans frame". However, I do see alot of normal looking men riding them. It's transporation. That is a mixte frame, though, so you can wear a cool "WWII French resistance" style beret and adopt an accent ... carry a bottle of wine and a loaf of bread ... just kidding!
BTW, many of the new bike frames for men have some seriously sloping frames that are reminiscent...IMO...of the old style women's frames.
