Here at TWC, we understand that not everyone is a huge fan of pink. In fact, we’ve devoted a lot of inches to the debate over whether pink bikes are patronising, pretty, or both.

Ask the Expert: How Do I Make My Commuter Bag Lighter?

Then we looked at the Sven Cycles Lady’s 650b Di2 Roadster “The Pink Panther”. It’s called The Pink Panther, for goodness sake. We should be offended or something. But isn’t it just the loveliest thing you’ve ever laid eyes on?

The best thing is that at Sven cycles, every bike is handmade in Weymouth, Dorset. Their ‘Roadster’ models are intended to be luxury city bikes made for riding to work and looking darn smooth. We also very much enjoy their dry product descriptions: “If you are looking for a time trial bike look elsewhere.”
