Im looking to build a bike up for Hannah and I was wondering if anyone else had built any girly bikes?

Hey, Im in Hinckley so not far at all. Thats a really nice looking bike you got there

Cheers
Its really all down to Stew advising and sourcing parts for it. Back in the 90's i dreamed of hetting a funk. Now i have one.
What frame or bike are you thinking of getting Hannah?

Im not sure yet but I remember seeing something like a Kona someone had built for their other half and sprayed a pastel colour. I was hoping it might reappear in this thread. I want something around 95-97 so the parts are easier to source.

Ive been looking for an Atac stem like that for my Manitou! Can I have first dib if it ever goes up forsale?!

First dibs are yours if i get bored of it
Unlikely though, i am so fussy about my stem angle and this one suits me fab, Gives me a nice comfy riding position.
Konas are great, Stew just recently sold his frame on , had an explosif but cant remember the year unfortunatly. Top tube has a nice slope for a woman too.I contemplated having mine powder coated a hot pink colour but went against that idea.Although polishing it is a nightmare!!!
