CSB – Unique bicycles for women

Would you ever thought that the unique bicycle for girls was invented by two guys? CSB (Csajbringa – Girlcycle) turned out so well that women simply adore the stylish, harmonic and good quality bikes. Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu talked with Viktor Kádár and Zsolt Erdő, the creative, cycling-fanatic inventors of CSB. They certainly know what women need.

And what they needed hasn’t been manufactured for decades: an elegant, minimalistic bike with harmonising colours, avoiding black and unattractive Chinese plastic. Viktor believes that the technical development of the 90s and the spreading of mountain bikes took a bad direction (from women’s point of view) in the development of bicycles: they became more and more futuristic. Not to mention that most women don’t desire extras, only an elegant, feminine and comfortable bicycle.

The idea arose when one if the inventors couldn’t find any nice bicycle for his girlfriend’s birthday – so why couldn’t they design bicycles for women? They were lucky because this realisation fell in the same time as the start the renaissance of cycling in Budapest.

In the beginning they didn’t think that it could turn into a serious business, they only knew that they were both crazy about bikes and that no one had done anything like this before. So they ran to the second-hand market and bought four ancient bicycles, which they disassembled, sand-sprayed, polished, assembled and bought some accessories.

The concept was the creation of sophisticated, minimalistic bicycles in harmonising colours made with of good quality components, avoiding the ugly, black Chinese plastic. They then shared the bikes on Facebook, because they didn’t know what else they could do with them. They only wanted to make them, not use them.

They sold the first bikes way under their realistic price, but this didn’t discourage them. They got more and more positive feedback, newspapers started writing about them and they knew that they had to carry on.

Viktor had a vision about a nice girl bicycle, which proved to be right by the feedback. They don’t tell you how a nice bike looks like, they give you the option to design the appearance of the components by choosing from 30 colours.
