I can't decide. I think Hello Kitty might look good on my mountain bike, but I might get more chicks with the white trash one.

Love the white trash one, but any man that can be comfortable with his masculinity with HK gets my vote.


RE: Bicycle choices for TK - Twitchin Kitten - 09-15-2010

Yes, I agree Jammin..... Now if you got HK, you'll get better quality girls. Just sayin'...


RE: Bicycle choices for TK - twisteroo - 09-16-2010

It's settled, the seach is on for a Hello Kitty bell.


RE: Bicycle choices for TK - Twitchin Kitten - 09-16-2010

I think Kmart has them.

Did you do the comparison between last year's Rincon and this years for me? That Bikepedia link has comparison charts between models but it was easier to put them side by side in two browsers.

I'll find the specs and post them here in a few. It'll be easier.

Are those both the womens design?
Yeah, it really looks like just the frame has changed, and maybe the seat.

That had to have saved some money somewhere just to stay competetive.


RE: Bicycle choices for TK - Twitchin Kitten - 09-17-2010

The 2009 model looks like it's frame is heavier or thicker. I like that one better. I don't like the color, but I like the bike.

If they are selling the older model in my local shop, would I be out of line chewing the price down on them?

Yes, they are both the women's model.
