Bike, the girlier the better. Any tips on how to make a bike more girlier from an aesthetic point of view?
The SO is doing my head in. Please help.

If he likes more feminine bikes, just choose him something pink?

Pink Chris King headset. Instant sex-change for any bike.

Juan - it might surprise you to learn that not all women have the same tastes 🙂

My daughter likes her bike like this...

My wife prefers her almost the opposite...

No way you'd find me riding anything with a hint of pink!

No pictures here, however mine are both men's bikes.
1) unfinished Turner flux
2) On one inbred, the same as mrsdruidh ^^

No pink on the bikes, although I don't mind wearing it.

I know but I am trying to gather simple ideas right now, because she may show the outcome but I am the one dealing with the means...

Juan - she either wants to ride or she doesn't! Tell her to stop the pointless pontificating. 🙄

It's a bike and not a fashion accessory as such.

Well I do know that, but she's the stubborn kind. So she has decided she need to look like a girly girl and so does her bike (not telling you the pink short tantrum) so I am trying to get some inspiration of some sort.

Mine... not so girly either...

Hardtail - sorry for the picture quality

And full sus - sorry about the crud catcher!!

Guess I like nice detail on my bikes, rather than overall girlyness 😕 Things like the lock on (or grips) matching some other detail, QR's and seat clamp matching - that kind of thing... you can see it in some of the other photos too.

My road bike is plain ti and my other half has had some decals made to go on it. Just small and unobtrusive, but delicate birds flying along the top tube towards the head set - will look lovely.

Girl on bike = girly bike! Girly bikes do not need flowers to be girly!
