Who else has built a bike for their other half?
« on: February 13, 2013, 04:13 PM »
What a fookin ball ache!

When I build for me it's easy, I can see colour combo's in my head, parts that I need etc etc.

But I'm building one for the better half at the mo.
Picking a frame she liked was a right royal pain in the arse.
Even deciding on a colour scheme was a nightmare!

Fook going shoe shopping with her :idiot2:

Then when I speak to her on the phone she keeps asking if I'm enjoying building it!
NO!

Everything that could've been a problem on it, has been a problem on it.

No wonder I've named it Christine!

Anyway, it should hopefully be ready to roll at Chester :LolLolLolLol:

I've built a couple , an S&m next gen dirtbike ( not quite finished ) for cruising and an S&m black bike to ride park on .
It's simple , only give them limited options or like you say it can be like pulling teeth !
She now wants something different so have got a 2hip pork frame which I believe she wants candy red

You're lucky you come that high up in the order Dan, I would come when she's nothing left to think of, probably just after biscuit crumbs under the seat cushions...

Built this for my lovely wife Jo about 4 years ago.



Just about to start building a new one for her though to match the one she had as a kid.

no - she has almost zero interest (now and again there might be a comment about something looking nice but that's about it, which is fair enough as I don't exactly show an interest in bags!)

and in any case BMX seats are not good for wimminz - those seats might be painful for us but thanks to their child-bearing hips they will cut like a razor  :shocked:
fine if you're racing like mrs ratty  :2gunsfiring_v1: not so good for a Rad cruise and you want to have a sit down pedal
