Purchased At:
Medford Cycle Sport
Strengths:
So far everything.

Nothing yet. Although I will be switching out the fork and brakes in the near future.
Similar Products Used:
None. This is the first XC bike I have ever owned.

stock.
Bottom Line:
I bought this bike to help make me a more rounded rider. Originally I was going to buy a cheap mountain bike, but thanks to the great guys at Cycle Sport I now have a pretty nice bike. I haven't had a chance to take it out and really ride it yet, but I have high hopes for this bike. This is the first womens' specific bike I have ever ridden and it is VERY comfortable! It sits me back a little more than my other bikes, so I am not riding on my pubic bone or other such painful positions. I am very eager to try it on the hills around my house.
