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:

Yes and for the 2 times it was ridden last year its a waste of money. ::)

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.

Cool, did you win?
-
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

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 :)

-
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 :yahoo_silent:
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 :-[
-
I have, orange dk general lee mk1, she rode it once and its sat ever since, apparently its too heavy

oh - just man bags :LolLolLolLol:

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 :idiot2:
-
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! :smitten:
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.......
:daumenhoch:

brought her a OM flyer and put a massive leopard skin springer seat on it, she loves it, and the daughter wanted a all matt black united mothership for Christmas

Oh dear it looks like you have missed out as Craig had that bike up for sale a few weeks back, but it has sold now.

My misses built her own Skyway TA last year. Mind you I did have to fund a few of the parts! She has been over the the track with me on one of my crusiers and started to learn how to jump, and has come mountain biking to chicksands a couple of times.
I am currently collecting parts to build her her own mountain bike as she wants to come out more once the weather get warmer.
-
Not bikes but ski's. SA as banged on about trying skiing, so lent her some of my boots which wouldnt close on her calves because womens boots are bigger, but she had a go on the local hill and enjoyed it. So, bought her some boots, altered some spare slalom skis for her, and said are you having a go... NO... oh ffs. Want to go to Tamworth? No.. Next time.. If she said build me a bmx 'id fook her off.. Split arses..
-
Here is Christine (named after the car in the movie of the same name)
It's been a bitch to build, what could've gone wrong went wrong.
Blood was spilt building this. :tickedoff:
All Claire's colour choice.
I hope she's happy! :LolLolLolLol:
