LOL - I had to look up that reference to Manolo Blahniks. Wot r they thinks me, which makes your point rather well, except that maybe bikes are also the province of girls in a way that Manolo Blahniks are not the province of men.
He was a decent sort of a lad and no mistake, but he did say they'd been going through a rough patch and I think he surprised her with this gift. I won't say anything bad about either of them, but if they weren't suited, they weren't; irrespective of his magnificent gift to her, and that wasn't ever going to change.
