Colnago C60. Tell her to pack light in order to save room in her case for the new frame.

I have two custom steel road bikes and according to my wife two too many.

Colnago geo doesn't fit me anyway

I was in NYC two weeks ago. Bought a NYC Velo pocket tee with champion stripes and campy logo on the pocket.

NYC Velo is a good choice!

King Kog has some cool merch

Or anything Red Hook Crit related

The NYU cycling team also sells bottles if you want to support collegiate cycling

I agree. I was back in NYC with the Mrs, we both lived there, and Rapha (even though is not a NYC thing) it's in the meat packing district and it's just a nice walk. Cool place to stop get a grilled cheese and a cappuccino...or beer. We had both. :)

Nyc velo is great. The Mrs bought me a black shop jersey but the black is a club fit...and the small was huge on me...she should have bought that white one, "race fit" but it doesn't look as good. Both great spots. Hell if you are there long enough, rent a bike for the Rapha Saturday morning ride, it's a no drop ride that takes you through NYC and into upstate. Beautiful ride, nice people.

Gran Fondo New York jersey. Those should be pretty cheap right now.

A Manhattan Portage messenger bag. The basic Straphanger and NY Messenger models are roomy and bullet proof. I've also got a vintage waxed canvas bag that has held up well and ages nicely.

Thanks Guys for all the great suggestions.

I will give my wife some options and just leave it up to her if it fits in with her shopping schedule.

Cheers

My daughter's nickname is Sid, so I went to Sid's Bikes NYC and bought her the shop strip... jersey, knicks, cap

Have a bagel with lox and cream cheese in Central Park and savour the memories. NYC is an amazing city.
