    Built my GF up a bike out of my old frame and parts left over from upgrades etc, with a couple of donations from some good mates, and a couple of stickers another mate knocked up we ended up with this! 8)

    I wonder if Merlin would like to adopt the name for all there women specific builds, lol.

    Hope the GF shows her appreciation as only she can 😉

    If I put stickers like that on my wifes bike I'd expect to be executed or for there to be a "Bobbit" style incident.

    Missing apostrophe. Should be: "Wizard's Sleeve".

    Its irony, I didnt think "Mouses Ear" had the same ring to it on a Frame made by Merlin! 😉

    Does she know what a "wizard's sleeve" means?

    If I put that on my GF's bike I'd be getting a Merlin shaped suppository

    Only 9% of STW riders' partners ride with them regularly (according to the current poll). Please note careful placement of apostrophe.

    I did duck when I explained the meaning of wizzard's sleve, but simply explained it was fitting for a well ridden frame and she saw the funny side. I actually built it up a couple of months ago, but only just got round to posting the photos. In that time, Sarah has been out twice a week on avarage and really enjoys herself, or at least one of the pubs I try and include on the route. So I guess I'm going to be one of the lucky or unlucky 9% depending on your point of view.

    I recon more SO's would enjoy riding if they were give a half decent bike to start with and not a Tesco FS special 😆

    Those stickers are ace! Does your mate do so as a business (or would he be willing to?)

    Kit, He makes the stickers up as a bit of a sideline / Hobby in his back room. Cost him a few quid for the vinal plotter, but he used to do it for a job when he was younger and figured he'd recoupe the cost after selling a few stickers on Ebay. Makes some good pocket money out of it, and will do custom stuff as long as its for a fair few off. He's got a full time job aswell, and can find it swallowing all his time if he's not carefull.
    What did you have in mind? Ill have a word and pass on his contact details if it sounds like something he'd do.

    Yes she is tall 8)

    I'm trying this with SWMBO now as I've built her a nice Inbred. It's in commuting spec so might also build her a decent MTB from the spares bin as she's said she'd like to try some proper off-roading.

    She's ridden off-road motorbikes before so fingers crossed that she enjoys the mountain biking. Although I'm certain she'll be quicker than me uphill!

    Is she Dutch? I also agree with hillclimber, maybe a sofa would suffice 🙂

    Nice build though, the graphics are neat.

    Nothing specific, but always thought some fancy custom graphics would be ace. I'll favourite this thread and might be back in touch 🙂
