That is one of the funniest and, yes, coolest stories I have heard here. You had me in fits. I so wish my girlfriend was like your wife. I would gladly let her loose in the bike shop. I, unlike you, am not knowledgeable enough to build her her own bike (I am a newbie). I envy you, sir...in a good way.
Thanks for the laugh! (already a poseur!! RIOT!!)
