Costum fit bikes

[blubby]

:o Do you know if there are any companies/frame builders that specialize in designing costum fit womens bike frames? I have a Serotta Concours titanium frame that I absolutely love but I'm thinking about getting another bike. It seams to me that many bike frame builders (like Curt Goodrich, Tom Kellogg, Peter Weigle and others) are very good at the costum fit part whether it is for a women or a man.

A friend of mine, who runs the free web-site for women "Graceful Edge" (http://www.gracefuledge.com/index.html), recently wrote about Serotta costum fit bicycles (see http://www.gracefuledge.com/archive..._09-20-06.html). She also writes about many other things hip for active women like us who like biking, running, swimming, hiking, skiing, etc. You can check out the latest in technical wear, fab gear, and awe inspiring experiences.

are you trying to fit a "costume" for your bike?

Just kidding, I believe you are looking for "custom" fit frames correct? I have heard very good things about Terry bikes
http://www.terrybicycles.com/

and Seven bikes are supposed to be very nice as well (but expensive)
http://www.sevencycles.com/

Good luck - I can't wait until I can get my own custom.

I'm not sure if these people do women's specific (I would assume so), but their store was recommended to me when I was bike shopping:

Umm . . . Is there somthing wrong here?

[SadieKate]

Hmm, you suppose there is some kind of masquerade going on? Blubby, are you honestly interested in custom bikes for women or just trying to drive traffic to your link?

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck....:cool:

Well, It is almost Hallowen. Maybe I can come to the TE Party dressed as a Bicycle :p I should complain, since misspelled "October" in a Thread title today

I kinda thought the same thing.

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam!

Is anyone doing anything special for Halloween on their bike?

The Velo Girls have done a costome ride before, I don't know if there will be one this year. I suppose I could check the schedule.

[Squeaky]

doh! I feel so used... :o :D

[Geonz]

It's that whole Engrish thing...

Hmmm.... I've never had the Xtra on Hallowe'en. I have affixed a broom to a motorcycle... it should be really easy to trick out the longbike!

[mimitabby]

hey, TE Bianchi ladies, don't forget to send me your photos! IM me for my email address!

[cherinyc]

doh! I feel so used... :o :D

'whimper'...me too! How do you know it's spam? (so I don't fall for this again)

[mimitabby]

let's see, two posts total, no conversation, no real introduction and
A LINK!!!

was any of your first 10 posts a link to a business? I'll bet not!

and did I go to the COSTUM link? I did not.

I might catch something from it!!

[cherinyc]

gosh, I'm so naive.:o

[Squeaky]

gosh, I'm so naive.:o

maybe it's a blonde thing (I am too)... gee, just when I think I know something... :D

[xeney]

Wow, I really didn't think that was spam. I'm still not sure, maybe because I ran across the linked site the other day and it's an information site, like someone personal web project, not a link farm. And the person's first post seemed legit, no links to anything but the Serotta site, and I don't think Serotta is sending spam bots out!

Also, the link was improperly formatted so it 404'd, and in my experience (I've run message boards myself), spam bots always get their links right. ;)

[SadieKate]

I don't know, Xeney. Stuff just doesn't add up. Blubby has been a member for 3 years but just now chose to post and posted with seemingly contradictory info plus a horde of misspelled words? One post being I love my Serotta because it works for a woman and, BTW, visit my friend's website. The second post is odd in sounding simultaneously like she is knowledgeable and uninformed about builders for women and, BTW, visit my friend’s website. It just feels odd: the grammar, the misspellings, the tone and the pushing of another’s website.

I copied and pasted the link and it worked. The site looks pretty innocuous but the lack of intro, conversation, or previous contribution to the forum, in addition to the promotion of the website makes me uncomfortable and causes me to be suspicious of the website. If both are innocent, I’d like to hear from the owner of the website.

Admit it, SK, you're just jealous because you don't have a good costume yet.

[SadieKate]

Costume or costum? Yeah, that's me. Always needing to be the fairy princess, NOT!

[Triskeliongirl]

Don't forget Luna Cycles.

[Bad JuJu]

I don't know that I would say it's definitely spam, but it is kind of suspect, for the reasons SadieKate mentioned. And if the link is legit, jeez why can't the poster just come out and say something like "You might want to check out my friend's cool and helpful website"?

All right so maybe I'm just grouchy today because the weather's gorgeous and I'm at work instead of out riding my bike.

The Halloween costumes for bikes is an intriguing idea, though. Hmmm.....

Picture Fairy Princess on her bike. Wand in one hand. Tiara askew. Trying to keep her voluminous, filmy skirt out of her drive train. My, that FP has a filthy mouth.

Hoping this really is spam,
