Wanted to Borrow: 46 or 48 CM bike
My girlfriend wants to ride the Elephant Rock. She has no bicycle. She is on the smaller side: 5'2" 115 lbs. Could I borrow a smaller road bike from someone for her? I'd gladly repay you with A) A sweet cassette B) A race x lite front wheel in perfect condition 3) Sexual chocolate 7) I could edit your blog for grammar/spelling

We might, Lauren's old race bike (the black felt). Its a 53 but might work.... How long and when?

Based on your usage of the word "wanted", it implies that you wanted to borrow a bike in the past, not the upcoming future. I suggest "Want to borrow a bike", which, would imply that you have the desire to do such an action for an upcoming event. I would caution anyone from using Jordan's grammar/spelling offer.

<sigh> how, oh how can I explain this without sounding like Doug? the 'wanted' in 'wanted to borrow' is in the imperfect tense. the full sentence would be 'a bike is wanted to borrow'. if the subject is ME, i would have written "I want to borrow", but that is, in fact, incorrect. my girlfriend wants to borrow. the bike, on the other hand, is 'wanted'. jafar--how tall is lauren? it would be sweet if it worked! i also write sonnets, if you're interested!

I will take the race x lite front wheel as being the agent of anyone who lends the front wheel for the little girlfriend of yours. Does she outweigh you by any chance? That wouldn't be good. I need a training front wheel anyway.

this whole thread has gone from seriously awesome to confusing as all get-out. but los--if you want the wheel, email me. i'm sure we can work something out. jsherATjuicecomsDOTcom
