Thought I'd share a few photos of my wife's new ride. It's a 15" Turner XCE. The build turned out really cool; but the best thing about this bike is what it represents. As many of you know my wife has not ridden for the last 2 years due to kidney failure brought on by Diabetes. Lori received a kidney transplant last July 7th. Lori has been consistently getting healthier and stronger as each month passes. The other month Lori got some long awaited news. She was cleared by the doctors to start riding again!!

I am speechless, for the story and of course the oh so sick pink Turner. I showed that pic to our female graphic designer (who's father struggles with diabetes) and she doesn't want to ride her blue/white Kona until we powder coat it pink. Sweet bike, I hope she continues to recover wonderfully and has many great rides in the future!

Wow, that is awesome. Your wife must be happy to be healthy and have that sweet ride. Simply stunning (and sort of blinding )
