Bikey 4 Wifey

My wife never had a bike as a kid but I bought her a commuter and taught her to ride a couple of years ago. She now on her 4th bike having gone through (upgraded not worn out) a fitness hybrid thingy that I cobbled together and put drop bars on, a mid range roady and she now rides a pro level road bike, clipless...

A n y w a y . . .

Recently she's been asking about FGSS and I said I could glean parts from ebay and such and build her one. Her bithday in on St Paddy's and I though I'd compile a catalogue of Girly FGSS bikes as a style guide for me to start collecting parts

Before I get told to "search!!!!". I've already done that and have a few good samples... but I could really do with your collective eyes, knowledge and expertise.

Post pics and links and I'll post a pic of the bike when it gets built.

The only proviso... it need to be a flat bar.

Cheers Guys n Gurls

Bye my bike, Perfect : ) http://www.londonfgss.com/thread17621.html

Nice... Paddy (nearly) green too. but it's a bit big for her (5ft nuttin'). plus shipping to me would probably cost more than the bike.

Happy Birthday for the 17th... x

Thanks mate. Good luck in the bike hunt.

In that case, why don't you ask FGL to build her a bicycles?

This is the best excuse to post gratuitous, gigantic photos of my bike ever. genius.

That's just one photo so far (although it includes a gratuitous cat). We want more!

Nice cat.

Another excuse to post my missus' bike;

just imaging the rear wheel is fixed and add a front brake, sorted.

Awesome cat.

That is almost exactly what i am building for my missus at the moment. She will be single speed initially though.

Very nice!

What wheels are those Ed?

I was hoping from the thread title that you want to swap a bicycle for your wife.
The search continues...

Tricity i just love your cat!

What wheels are those Ed?

front from an Bianchi Pista, rear is cheap Mavic rims laced to Velosteer coaster hubs.

I don't think there's enough love for my bike going on... mutteranti-hipsterfascistsgrumblewhoneedslugsandvintagepartsanywaywhinge

But I will tell the cats they are admired.

why would everyone look at the bike instead of the cat?? ;)

Yeah, fair point, they are tough to compete with. Even pink wheels aren't as hott as a big tabby furryface.

was the cat angry about it's late feed whilst you were off out tunnelling the Thames?
