Building a bike for your girlfriend/boyfriend etc.

Ride behind her so you can admire her arse. Makes the time fly by.

I do this.

^ Build her the bike...

...and then buy the underwear.

:)

And I do this. A lot.

Show off ;)

If you have a great arse to look at that you've clad in great undercrackers then why the hell not?

I built my girlfriend a bike, she dumped me today :(

Did you buy her any underwear?

Nope, I brought her a vest that had pigs fucking on it though....

Policemen?

Yeah, possibly not the most romantic/sexy gesture.

Though I've been given worse.

Policemen having intercourse probably is more of a statement though.

She wanted it, from my friends tattoo studio and she was a tattoo apprentice herself. She actually loved it!

Just finished this for my GF

Nice. Did she have a kitchen before?

Not one with a bike in it...

Ah, but doesn't the bike get in the way when you're trying to cook something?

We thought it might, but the wheels have proved (proven?) a very effective means of adjusting it's position whilst we cook etc.

That kitchen's a bit "busy", isn't it?

My girlfriend can't ride a bike.

Fucking disgusting.

has she considered cycle training?

My girlfriend can't ride a bike

Can't or just hasn't for a while? miss.ua hadn't been on a bike for 20 years until I lobbed the Saracen her way, within a day she was off on 10 mile jaunts.

That kitchen's a bit "busy", isn't it?

As it should be.

I built a bike based on an old Saracen frame and within days my girlfriend had adopted it and still uses it. Maybe Saracens have this effect?

I think it's because they are cheap and common*, so we don't mind letting them go :-)

*Saracens, not girlfriends.

My girlfriend can't ride a bike.

Fucking disgusting.

my ex was of the position that 'riding bikes is not lady like' and would pull troll like faces when I even talked about putting her on a bike.

leant her a shopper with a basket and a massive sprung saddle and couldn't keep her off the thing.
Magic.

This really really needs better pics than my shit phone camera, although my missus' build is now very nearly finished, last things to do is stick a larger freewheel than the current 12-17 that's on there, and put a couple more links on her chain.

It's a real mix and match of parts, so the deep v wheels (rear road/front track...) and bullhorns were chosen mainly for aesthetic reasons (and they were cheap), whilst the drivetrain, a front triple and soon to be much larger rear freewheel will give a lovely range of gears for when we go on longer rides with decent hills etc.

Who knows, the bars may need replacing for more comfortable/practical ones in the future but currently we're really happy with how it's turned out :)
