My wife isn't happy I brought home a 27 year old Redhead...
Yeah, sorry to get your hopes up...
https://i581.photobucket.com/albums/...pshk9sgaal.jpg 1992 Trek 1400. I couldn't pass guys on these 27 years ago. It is a bit rough, but might clean up ok. Yes, I have a N+1 issue.. It all started with a failed attempt at another Trek... https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...ek-1000-a.html MIssed out on that bike, and then a 1200 popped up. But was too small... Then this 1400 popped up. |
My wife isn't happy I brought home a 27 year old Redhead... April fools' !!!!
ENJOY after some T:love:C |
Not April Fools, but it works. At least my bringing home a bike didn't result in the need for a puppy she threatened! But, I didn't have room for ANOTHER bike at work!
|
I'm pretty sure my wife thinks me having a 27yr. old girlfriend would be cheaper then my bike collection.
|
Nice bike.
FWIW, I don't find those sorts of thread titles to be amusing. They harm the inclusiveness of the group. There's a reason that this subforum is overwhelmingly male. |
Well 4 out of 5 posters seem to think the header is/was amusing. I'll wager tht there are many silent smilers out there too, but it is what it is. I also think the header is amusing, so that makes it 5 outta 6...

Personally, I was confused. I thought he got a Testarossa.
IMHO, to suggest that a small statement like that is the reason this subforum is mostly male doesn't give females very much credit. I seriously doubt most would be offended by such an innocuous statement. BTW, nice bike. I've always thought that red is the best color for sports cars, bicycles, and high heels ... anything sexy or fast. |
So just how much faster could I run if I wore red high heels? I guess it would depend on who's chasing me, if it's a retired Navy man, I might set a new PR. :eek:

Nothing wrong with a feisty 27 year old redhead. Fun times ahead for you. |

As a woman, I agree it is not offensive. Kind of a cliche though. But then, I also have a wife who rolls her eyes at my bike collection! |

Did you ever stop to think that maybe any forum would be more inclusive if posters did not use the word man or woman as part of their username, MinnMan? |
I have a titanium fix gear named Jessica J. She is a tough mistress. And that is mistress as in the female counterpart to the male master, not a bed partner. Race quick steering. If I treat her gently, she is a sweet ride. If I am not smooth, she is wild.

Ben I have ridden bikes far more demanding than any I owned. And this IS the raciest frame I've owned, and I will not likely reach it's limits before I reach well past my own... |

My wife would only be ticked off if the redhead was Italian. She knows I have a real thing for Italian beauties!

I know this story. Some may think it rather odd but my wife was with me when this my red hot cinnamon girl was purchased for a song... https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e7591b903.jpeg |
Hopefully this was not the song. :rolleyes:
