My partner wants a MTB

[VamP]

I say "Drat, my gears are crunching" and the lovely Helen answers "What are you cooking for dinner?"

That is also an excellent arrangement

The bike came yesterday, and she's out on it now.

I'm sat here feeling really nervous, hoping she doesn't get carried away and injure herself - she has less sense of self preservation than me - and also hoping she comes back with a big grin on her face. I think she only wanted a MTB because I kept coming home saying how brilliant it is, so I really hope she enjoys it. She went out saying she'd be somewhere between 1 and 1.5 hours, and she's been just 1.5 now, which I shall take as a sign that she's in no hurry to come home!

We were very pleased with the bike, and with the service from Bike Discount yet again. (I've placed a couple of small orders with them since my bike, and their service has been flawless every time.) I ordered it last Monday, and it arrived yesterday. I think 7 days from order to delivery on a bike is pretty good going.

It came without pedals, so she - sorry, I - put single sided SPDs on it (she rides clipless on the road) so she's got a choice.

Mrs Zulu does'nt let me go out anywhere without my mobile - but then she knows I'm an accident waiting to happen

I have to text her when I'm starting on the Dog - if I'm longer than an hour she gets the air ambulance out.

Hope the OH enjoyed it.

It's out of the running, anyway. I've just looked on Decathlon's Spanish site, and it's €720 here. That's an interesting exchange rate .....

The Boardman is looking like the best option at the moment (and Wiggle ship them here, so it's very easy).

Lots of Decathlon stuff is dear over here...

I am still waiting for the bike I ordered from Wiggle on 17 Oct ...... order has been cancelled twice due to some bollocks about order failing security!!
