Hi, I'm a new rider and decided on selecting a mountain bike as my first bike for road and trails.

I tried out the gt agressor and liked it but was iffy about the color...when I asked about women's version we found the gt laguna bike to sound like essentially the same bike. I tried them both out and liked the rides. My problem is that the colors weren't my favorites. I'm trying to do this on the cheap for a first bike and stick with the under 300 dollar range and these work for that.

My question is does the guy's bike (gt agressor) in the blue and silver look too masculine? That was my concern with the colors on this bike. Here is what it looks like although colors are slightly dull shade in person :

Here is the laguna, which appeared to be too flashy for my taste. It was lilac like purply color and silver:

The gt laguna looks like they have it comes in green and silver (much better combo for my taste) so I can see if they can get that to the store for me. But, just in case they can't does anyone think I'm being ridiculous about the current colors available? They seem to be on extreme opposites: one appears to masculine and the other too barby for me.

Like to hear your opinions so I can hurry up and get a darn bike. It's been so much fun testing them out!

Thanks!
