I ride a 59cm or 60cm frame, and this is 49cm, but I'm gonna raise that seatpost to the max and give it a try myself.
I'll weep that day this baby leaves our house!!!
(And it ain't right away, either.)

although I think Leicalad should just force his wife to ride it - or get her a comfort bike which she'll outgrow in a few months and be ready for the mixte.

I'm working on enticing. Well, maybe better called begging, pleading, pouting...
You know: The usual gambits of the married man.

I'd better go put on my oven mitts now. Apparently I was playing the role of the man. Originally Posted by LeicaLad

Can you put fatter tires on it? Maybe do a 650b conversion on it? That maybe getting into a lot of work trying to make your wife like a bike that the rest of us love Originally Posted by LeicaLad
The skinny tire thing is something that I think people get over after riding a comfort style bike for a while and getting more comfortable with being on a bike again.

Very true. Even my "comfort bike" has skinny tires. Originally Posted by Catriona
