Michael: You have got to get her onto a Rivendell, somehow. I had the same discussion with my wife. Her ancient aluminum Trek was just fine, nothing wrong with it, why would she want something different, etc, etc. An Atlantis came onto the market & she only agreed to check it out to appease me. She did not want the bike. After 10 minutes riding around a parking lot, she came back & said (in a low whisper so the seller couldn't hear) "I've got to have this bike!".
So that's the strategy. Tactically, a romantic weekend is San Francisco, with a side trip to Walnut Creek could be worth considering. dougP On Friday, February 14, 2014 4:32:14 PM UTC-8, Michael wrote: > > I told my wife I would get her a Foy or Cheviut if she wanted one but she >> doesn't want one.
