is this suppose to be sarcastic?
are you actually saying that this guy's worth as a boyfriend is determined by how much money he is willing to spend on his girlfriend?
i think i just threw up a little bit...

Not sarcastic at all! ( Please read original post regarding "getting some ass.")

All I'm saying is, if she isn't worth the bike, then why make an issue of it. Get her what works for her, regardless of whether or not it gets you ass. If you want to ride with her, then ride with her. Getting a bike for a girlfriend should not be a condition of whether you get ass or not. If she's into you, then a new bike shouldn't be a factor of getting ass.

My 2 cents...

Get her a bike that is within your price range and I'm sure she will be stoked. A "bikes direct" or whatever, given with affection, is better than any 2K+ bike.

Just do it for the right reasons or it will never be worth the price you pay.

OK... I like the new specialized langsters... lots of options... But maybe get her a beater and put some effort into cleaning it up. It might end up cheaper if you do it right. It also will make it more personal.

Good luck.

If you thought those were good posts, you're on the wrong site. Seriously.

build her one of these!

this chick KILLS it too man she was rock 2 or 3 backward cirlces with NO HANDS and riding out.

and fast too.

Would any of you boys like to hear what one of us bike riding girls has to say about the whole thing? I ride a Bianchi San Jose and love it. But it's the bike I wanted because I love riding. If the girlfriend doesn't care too much about the bike, maybe the girlfriend's not a good fit for you and the bike's not the problem. Guys are always telling us we're trying to change them...what are you trying to do?

Stop talking about women like they don't know anything about being on a bike!

:beer: If you're ever in Portland, OR, remember that I owe you a beer.

Not talking about women knowing nothing about being on a bike. But my gf doesn't along with probably most of her friends. Obviously if you're here then you know something about bikes but you don't represent all women. All i am trying to do is get her a bike so she can see what i spend all of my time and money on. Like i said before i hope she really falls in love with it, and wants to ride all the time but if she doesn't then thats ok too. There are still have a million other things we have in common if she hates it.

jdb.

... yeah, either that or you have a sense of humor and a personality.

If you don't like the rules, leave. But it's certainly not in your best interest to try to insult me.

hey pal, i'm not insulting anyone.

if you don't like what i'm saying--just censor me some more.

For how long? 3 days? A week? Permanent? You choose.

you're the one on the internet power trip here.

seriously dude, chill out.

You're the one that can't observe some very simple guidelines. I deleted your inappropriate post, so you posted it again. As I stated already, if you can't follow the rules, leave. If you don't want to follow them, and you don't want to leave voluntarily, you'll just be banned. Simple as that. I hope we have an understanding now.

that was one of the more interesting bfssfg tangents

anyway

it sounds like a good plan to go cheap

see if she likes it and then upgrade later on

bikesdirect is the answer to your question

Hey why don't you go ahead and delete this whole post, you know so you don't have to ban anyone or worse kill them. I think i got all the help i needed.

Thanks for the help. jdb

High five

We stopped killing members a long time ago. Apparently, the permanent ban is almost as effective, and a lot less messier.

Mixtes are cooler and stronger.
