What frame for the boss (girlfriend!)...

drewcole81

Okay, I hope this isn't too confusing....

I have a Chris Boardman Team that i got last year on my cycle scheme, I party bought it cause i was excited and just wanted to go away on the day with a bike! although I did want to find out what they are like.
I have to say its been great and stood up to everything I have given it.

Although I have decided to get a new bike this year again..
So i've decided on the Spesh Rock Hopper Pro 2008 for me.

But the Girlfriend wants a bike too, so my thinking is that I shall rape the Boardman for parts as the frame is too big for her and just buy a new frame to put them on.

Not sure what to go for, she needs around a 16" one as she is wee. I dont really want to go spending loads on it as she wont use it that much... so looking for around the £150 point i think.

The only thing it has to be is pretty so i'm told..... :roll:

Please give me some ideas if you can guys and girls.

Thanks

Drew

Unfortunately, looks wise you can't be to fussy but looking for a friend recently, I found:

Rockhopper 15" - http://www.buyabikedirect.co.uk/product ... o&pid=1212
Orange G2 15" - http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/id36549.html
Handsome Dog 14"/16" - http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product/101739.html

Actually handsome dog might offend the boss :-/ ignore that one!

The Orange G-Series has always been rated as a great frame let down by spec - your chance to build the bike Orange should have made it?

Bugger, they've sold out of that G2...
