My wife, Ummu, has been severely infected by upgradatitis. After riding my Element for few months, she felt that the Element was not so suitable. "It was too masculine..." she commented. Comments that I brushed aside as insignificant due to typical male ignorance...
Only recently I began to realize that she meant it seriously...So I took her around coupla LBS. She got her eyes pinned on the Fuji Tahoe Comp from Fuji Bikes and before we knew it, the bike was already at home. 2 days before her birthday...Happy birthday, honey. Enjoy the ride.
