| May 14 at 22:09 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Why does noone ever query why the bike needs a downtube or seat stays or chainstays? Why is it always the top tube that attracts doubt ? | |
| May 14 at 20:18 | comment | added | Solomon Slow | FYI: There's a name for a bike (frame) with no top tube: It's called a "step through." When I was a kid, it was called a "girl's bike" (see Weiwen Ng's answer, below) but those of us who possess a Y chromosome no longer have to surrender our Man Card if we are caught riding one. | |

| May 14 at 8:02 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Almost a duplicate of bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/13826/… but its from an opposing viewpoint. There's plenty of answers, worth a read. | |
