In general, it can be argued that bike builders are divided for their precious halves. Some people glue it together from scraps they find in the basement. The result is often an ugly, if functional, piece of junk. It rides, holds together and weighs like a good old honest bike.

A few words to the dear half about the quality of vintage parts (in the glory days) is usually a poor attempt to cover the fact that it is a piece of junk and the lady will now ride it with gratitude.

Rather, we think there are more of us who are fondling and tuning the bike for the girl. Of course, it's all about the looks. All the more so when the dear half chooses most of the components herself before she starts shopping.

A bike is a fantastic invention and should bring joy, emotion. That's the way to look at it.

When we were clear, we came to FlowcyclesBike Studio. We don't know a more pleasant environment to build a bike ourselves. Not only do you find there the largest range of Chromag components in Prague, but the studio space is really nice and inspiring. You stand at the rack, listen to music, chat about bikes, the hours go by and the empty coffee cups pile up. It's good in there.

The choice fell on the tried and tested Chromag Rootdown frame in size M. A bike for everything. You can ride it through the Alps with ease, and you can take it into the skeletal trails. It has the right geometry and admirable durability. Purple with gold logos was the obvious choice.

Of course, you can't put components on the Chromag other than the Chromag. The cockpit catered for the iconic OSX handlebars in gold, which clamp the HiFi stem. Chromag Squarewave grips in brown with gold ferrules. The Chromag Juniper girls' saddle in LTD leather with gold ornaments fits exactly. The saddle is on top of a 9point8 Fall Line telescopic seatpost.

Little details like the stem decal, stem pads and saddle sleeve are Chromag and gold - how else.

The cranks and centre were provided by the tried and tested Praxis. Specifically the Cadet model. We screwed in gold Chromag Scarab pedals. This brings us to the drive, which spins the cleats. We've tweaked these up a bit with our own yellow paintwork, which matches the gold accessories perfectly on the black Chromag Ally rim. We're almost there. Marzocchi fork with owner-specific polish, gold basket and of course Galfer discs and pads.

Voila, here she is. Looks even better in person than in the pictures.

Judge for yourselves - does the Ťulda look like a mass-produced corporate piece from a big shop?

You don't think so, do you?
