Do you have a question for Specialized Women's Product Team?

hi rachel~welcome!

sooooo, even though I have certain sponsors that I ride, wear, promote, etc (Specialized is NOT one of them~though they are welcome to be =) !!!) I always ride the Ruby saddles. *my girly parts luv it!* Here's my question...how does a girl go about getting one of your new test saddles? Feel free to just simply send us all one, btw. ;-)

Also, I have a suggestion: I am not OPPOSED to the more 'feminine' offerings of Specialized (with most of their line, in general) but PLEASE allow us women who do NOT care for flowers, light/baby blue, pink, etc. other options. It seems to me that Specialized offers a better overall quality, with more options available, to their men's products than to their women's (from the basics of socks clear up to a fully equipped bike). I find it a little insulting and condescending, personally. Just something to bring up if/when you get a chance =).

thanks for joining us! *still newbie, myself*

Good points on color choices. I too hate the girly girl colors. For a bike I like nude carbon cuz it doesn't show the dirt and there is no added paint weight. For clothes, I like screaming yellow so I am seen in traffic. Maybe I'm just too practical, but something to consider.

I don't think blue is girly. Honestly, these manufacturers can't win when picking colors. I would like plain color and schemes more than flowery, but there are people here who really like flowery. I love graphical patterns. I love the Jelly Belly bikes with jelly beans all over them.

My Dolce is blue. My Trek 1000 was blue (I guess it still is, but I don't have it anymore). Lots of my cycling clothes and my helmet are blue. I like blue!

I think we should cut the manufacturers some slack with the color schemes. They can't please everyone.
