Didn't you read the bit about it being a small. I'm lucky it didn't fold under the weight of my stare.

Did you get your name engraved on it, so she would know it was from you?

Probably ok. I've been running Hopes for ages so she should be used to it.

............... jump bikes ARE smaller than your average. Also, being smaller would mean less leverage on all the joins and pivots, making for a stronger frame.

This would be way beyond jump bike, more like monkey bike.

It's obvious you love your wife.

And you built her a bike too!

 

[Cardy George]

But does she care??

Do we care? We had the Pole build delayed for this! But at least the photos are DSLR and top quality.

Thanks for sharing mate. Looks like I got the 10th anniversary (tin/alu) present sorted. 11 year anniversary is steel!

If she doesn't appreciate it, can I be your wife, I'll cut off my legs mid-shin to fit on the bike.
Must warn you though, I don't look pretty in a dress, probably look better with legs cut off...

Nah mate according to womens specific geometry, you'd need to take one or two spine discs out. On a separate note what anniversary year is carbon?

Think it falls under diamond, which is 60 according to a quick search!

I don't love my wife as much as you, I built mine a hard tail! But it's very light.

"not tonight, it's still sore..." must be a phrase you're sick of hearing @Slowman ?
