should I get my girlfriend? I am planning on buying my girlfriend a bike and am leaning towards a certain one that I am going to get her. The thing is, I own different brands (Yeti and a Trek) and love them? I was going to post this question on the specific bike forum but just as I was about to write, I started to think that I would get a biased reply. So, I am looking for an unbiased reply and decided to venture into the unforgiving world of the women's lounge. Are the women's specific bikes that big of a deal? What are the pros and cons of the bikes you are riding? What are you riding?
Some quick info on her. She is a recreational rider and doesn't have the skills of an advanced rider. She can ride singletrack well without any technical sections. (She was able to ride the Atlanta Olympic trail, the first half, with out any issues on my Trek hardtail which was to big for her.) She is 5'4". She is used to riding the "other" bikes from Walmart and Target.
What I am looking to get her? Something a little better than Walmart or Target brands. Something in the price range of 1500 to 2500. FS, XC.
If there was another post about this, please direct me there and it would save a lot of time.
Thanks
