@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @irina@wandering.shop @sluttymayo@jorts.horse yes it is. Stronger and stiff for less material. Some of my bikes are "female" framed, others are "male" framed. When having 25 kg of shopping in the panniers at the back, mounting in front (female) is much more stable. Long story short: each framed type has a specific use type. Enough reason to have multiple bikes of different types.
