Are women's 10-speed bicycles still sold in stores.? Ever since mountain bikes surged in popularity about 20 years ago, the old-style general-purpose 10-speeds have been harder to find in the mass market. The women's 10-speed (which is likely to be an 18- or 21-speed these days) is sometimes called a "mixte." See this link for pictures: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=... . Depending on what you're looking for, you might be better off getting a good used bicycle off Ebay (I got a good deal on a mid-1980s Schwinn 12-speed that way). There's usually a good selection of Schwinn and Raleigh bicycles of the type you want, and any bicycle shop can work on these. If you're looking for a new bicycle, you should go to the library and look at a few issues of Bicycling magazine for ideas about what's available in today's market, and then find an independent bicycle store in your area. A good bicycle store will ask you a few questions about how you intend to use your bicycle (daily distance you intend to ride, how much baggage you want to carry, do you intend to tour on the bicycle, etc) so the staff can suggest an appropriate model for you.bikesdirect.com yes i think so Trek has a few different models designed specifically for women. You can check them out at trekbikes.com. See what you like then you can search for a dealer in your area if you are looking for a good quality road bike, check out Specialized. they have a great line of women specific bikes... and as posted above, most bikes will be either a double (2x) chainring or a triple (3x) chainring set up, so you range of gears will be from 18 to 30... not much around still called a ten speed. http://www.specialized.com |
