View Full Version : Bubble Gum Pink Surly... gmeamtn 12-30-2004, 09:01 AM thought i'd post a couple images of the Surly Cross-Check i built for my wife. i had the frame bead blasted and powder coated bubble gum pink. there is also a topcoat of iridescent sparkles. this bike reeks of chic, and my wife is stoked for next season. i threw the platform pedals on so she could go for a quick spin around our block on christmas morning... have fun, ae cyclochip 12-30-2004, 10:59 AM Greatness! What size frame is that? It looks close to my clown bike frame... ElvisMerckx 12-30-2004, 11:08 AM ... you shoulda changed the stickers to "CrossChick." atpjunkie 12-30-2004, 12:03 PM I'm building my wife a sweet Nag for Valentines. Campy equipped so I'm going to have all her Ultegra stuff from her present Roadie that will need a new multi-purpose frame. oldskoolboarder 12-30-2004, 12:23 PM Nice. Reminds of the pink Rivendell. gmeamtn 12-30-2004, 03:09 PM the frame has a 46cm seat tube [c-t] and has an effective top tube length of 53cm [c-c]. my wife is REALLY excited! surprising really when you consider she's not really the "pink" type. she's even been cruising the LBSs searching for a pink helmet. what a riot - she's having fun! can't wait to work the pit for her next season... keep on having fun, ae meat tooth paste 12-31-2004, 02:12 PM Nice! I like the attention to detail, like in the white paint in the fork crown area. The pink looks great with the white Surly stickers. Cloxxki 01-03-2005, 04:32 AM Very nice! Considering the stack of spacers and totally aft position of the seat, she might also fit a larger size? gmeamtn 01-04-2005, 08:10 AM actually, she wants to take a few spacers out, lengthen the stem, and push the seat forward. i built it exactly the way it was when i bought it from a colleague, and now it's her turn to fit it to her body. frame should prove to be the perfect size... 15" of fresh pow in flagstaff, az! 4-8" more today, and more coming thursday, friday and saturday! we're lovin' it... best, ae MShaw 01-04-2005, 04:55 PM I'm building my wife a sweet Nag for Valentines.
