Is there any drawback to riding on wide tires (700X38)? And is there any shame in a man riding a lady's bike?
It's rubbish send it to me for disposal.
All kidding aside, there is no shame in riding a mixte. In fact b it makes a better mens bike that a traditional men's frame. No hitting your junk on the top tube.
