Carbon or Alu for Wife?

[Crankin]

Well, I am no shrinking violet, but before I started riding, my DH surprised me by switching out some things on his old mountain bike so I could ride it, and buying me some basic shorts, a jersey, a pair of tights, and one long sleeved piece. He knew I was *thinking* about starting to ride, but frankly, I never would have done this myself. I was very surprised. Of course right away, I knew that my jerseys shouldn't have elastic at the hem or at the waist (can you believe that ten years ago jerseys had elastic in the waist?).
I am sure his wife had input into this decision. Just because someone does something for you doesn't mean you are a dependent, down trodden person who has no mind of her own.
Once in awhile DH will buy me cycling gear if he sees something on sale, on- line. While I've had to tell him what brands and styles are best for me, after a few misses, I appreciate it. I do the same for him.

I was just thinking she'd probably need a jacket if they live in the northern hemisphere or sunscreen if they live in the south...didn't mean to suggest that that a Y chromosome was needed for it...oh nevermind....
