as most of you know, my wife moves back here in september after what will have been a 5-month stint working up in canada. yay!

anyways, i'm trying to convince her to start biking, but i can't afford to buy her a bike at the moment. does someone have a geared bike that's taking up space in their garage that she could borrow for a while next month to do some riding and find out if it's for her?

the catch is that she's wee. 5'1". i don't know what size frame would fit her best, so if someone who's smarter than me could chime in with that info, that'd be supoib.

rawk!

How was I supposed to know that? He has never mentioned his wife, he's got women all over him all the time. Not to mention those boy-toys I've seen him driving around town with. For all I knew he's got 4 wives!

No, kidding of course, I'm sure you've mentioned it, but I need visual affirmation to remember stuff like that I guess. Bring her out!

I've got a mountain bike you can borrow. It was used by a 5'6" woman, but there's a fair amount of seat adjustment possible. I bet it would work fine.

I've still got that other bike at my apt, Joby. It should fit her.

I'm pretty sure the other one I've got is smaller; Scottie, when's your sweetie getting back?

i've got an 80's nishiki frame formerly used for a 5 foot 1 woman. (my mom) and I think the wheels are laying around somewhere. You can most definitely take that for good if you'd like.

I'm with Mike, when I found out Scotty was hitched it shocked me! Quincy's heart will be broken.
