The way I do it is to build my wife a bike the same time as I'm build mine :lol:

Worked so far :D


She has a shoe fetish also :roll:

Nice work, looks killer with the Edge wheels!

We'll give these RXR boys a run for their money! The official RXR vs G5 face off begins!

Who would have thought she could have spent the same amount at the GAP alone... she also mentioned something about picking up a "pool boy". Not sure what she meant by that.

Ride report: I'm coming off a Giant TCR Advanced SL. I'm not super sensitive to geometry differences and the like, but I would say the G5 feels a bit more "aggressive". Its very responsive. Me gusta mucho.

Build:
- BH G5 54cm
- Lightning compact crankset with Quarq powermeter
- Fizik Arione Carbon Kium saddle
- 3T ErgoNova Team bars
- 3T ARX Team stem
- SRAM Red shifters, front and rear derailleur & brakes
- Edge 45 Clincher rims
- White Industries H2 hubs
- CX-Ray spokes

At first I thought this was a bike you bought for her...

Is it for you? What frame size is that tiny machine?
