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
fine if you're racing like mrs ratty not so good for a Rad cruise and you want to have a sit down pedal

She'd better stand up all around Chester if she thinks she's getting any Apres ski!

Got this on the go at the minute i have most of the bits but not got around to putting it together

dp and Chopper Dude · « **Reply #38 on:** February 13, 2013, 08:42 PM »

I bought the wife an Aero Reflex and a load of bits last year but we ended up rowing about what bits to get to finish it off. She kept on saying that I was always taking over

Then she got pregnant and lost interest. I might ride it at Chester if I dont get any of my other builds finished and if I'm allowed to play out

Iv'e just finished 2 mid school for my 2 nieces as girls can't do gears on mtb's.
I told the wife i'd build her one for Center park's in the summer. She looked at me like i'd just sh1t in her handbag

Clean · « **Reply #49 on:** February 14, 2013, 07:26 AM »

My missus fell in love with Craig Curbow's Tange Hot Heart build when she saw the pictures from MK11, and she has been pestering me to build her one ever since, for no other reason than - in typical girly fashion - she loves anything heart shaped!

But, as you will all know, sourcing a decent HH frame that some twonk hasn't taken a drill to in order to ET it is not easy, or cheap, but I continue to look.......
