My wife has a Giant Anthem XW.
I have an inbred 29er.
I also have a custom TI 29er.
My wife has a full carbon Boardman road bike.
I have a Specialized Allez roughly half the price of hers.
I let my Mrs have an intense tracer when we met but she didn't like it. She now has a stumpy fsr comp with x2 brakes, hope hoops and a reverb. She's still not got the best bike but that's her own choice. She doesn't understand why I enjoy spending money on my bike.
Tracey-your Enduro is bloody lush. Want one.
I've got a FS Titus mtb, Specialised Tricross (set up as road-based tourer), and a Specialised Dolce road bike.
Only my Titus has been better than my OH's (both ex and current), and although my mtb cost more than both my road bikes put together, I now am more of a roadie than a mtb'er - I guess showing that for me it's not all about the bike 🙂
With all my bikes, I've chosen, spec'ed, and paid for them myself. I'm curious as to how many women out there are riding what their partner got them, or have decided for themselves? (That's not saying one option is better than the other!)

Frame etc was totally my choice - plus stupid bling black-red set up. Some of the kit on it is because p20 spends so much time on the classifieds that he just replaces bits for me at random. So kind of mix of both.
My recently departed boyfriend (i hasten to add because I split up with him, not murdered him!) spent £1.5k on an Orange and all the gear which got used twice in two years. It wasn't quite as good as my Zesty but it still annoyed me that it was sitting there not being used and was too big to borrow. I wont fall for the all the gear but no action trick next time! Should have been suspicious when he sold his Landy for a 'more comfortable' car.
