IIRC, and you have bucket loads of cash to blow on your good lady, FoxyChick got a rather nice engraved stem cap for her new IF from [url= http://www.purelycustom.com/c-3-bicycle.aspx ]these people[/url] in the States (I think). It looks like there's a tonne of coloured bling that you can fritter your hard earned away on on that site...

What about just getting a few things anodised yourself.

I've plugged this company a few times on here now:

Just had to do a similar thing with my missus and ended up with this:

Lady parts were:
pink and white SDG Allure saddle
pink Jagwire cable outers
pink Gusset Slim Jim pedals
pink Blackspire bashguard
pink Salsa seat clamp (not fitted until after the picture was taken)
pink Superstar Components Headset (could afford King!)
pink lock on clamp on the grips (from www.mtb-direct.co.uk)

The budget wouldn't stretch to the pink flowery Hope brakes or pink Chris King hubs. Have seen some pink wheel quick releases at Superstar Components, which might get added at some point.

The stem caps from Purely Custom are nice and not that expensive. $22 for the one with text and graphics. But when I asked about shipping woman wrote me that normal postage is $30 for a standard without insurance or tracking numbers and they recommend one for $60. So in total $80 for a stem cap is a bit too much.

Some of the anodising stuff this guy Steve is doing looks really nice. I wonder how much he charges for that.
