Plan is to give it to her tonight. Just need to figure out an excuse to get her in the bike shop. I'll report back.

Tell her you need to stop and pick up some Pedros something or other.

Make sure they have a bow on it.

Ok here's what happened.

My excuse to get her near the bike shop was on Thursday I told her I wanted to go out for a fish fry dinner on Friday night. My GF is very sharp and immediately became somewhat suspicious since its rare for me to want to go out to eat but she eventually went with it cause it'd be a nice date after all. It would be at a new restaurant which has my LBS right along the driving route.

On the way Fri evening, I said I needed to quickly stop in the LBS to pick up a tool that special ordered for my mtn bike. Luckily, she opted to go in with me instead of wait in the car.

Went to the main guy, told him I was here for my *wink* special tool *wink*. He called his co-worker over and ask him to go find the tool. Co-worker went in back, messed around for 1 min then called the main dude back for help. Main dude came back 15 sec later with a tool and said while show to both myself and my GF an actual tool "This is the tool, right?".

At that same time, the co-worker walked up behind us with the very nicely Xmas decorated shiny new bike. I turned to my GF, told her I have a surprise for her, had her turn around and gave her a kiss saying 'Merry early Xmas'. She immediately read the large sign I made for the bike that had her and my name on it.

Needless to say she was TOTALLY surprised. She didn't know how to react at first cause she didn't think it was for real right away and said so. I replied, "Read the sign, it's yours." Then she got it and just said "Wow!" and was very happy and in awe.

So for the next hour we stayed at the bike shop fitting the bike and finding out that a 58cm is indeed too small for her. So in the end we sadly had to leave the bike there and ordered another one in 60cm instead. Should have the 60 by mid next week which is too bad cause there was some really nice weather this weekend and was hoping she could ride it right away. Oh well, nothing ends up perfect on projects like this I guess.

Dinner went very nice (she really liked the fish too) and so was the rest of the passionate evening. *wink*

For any that skipped the earlier text, this is what I got her...
