getting a mtb for the wife..
which one?! she doesn't do too much riding, but she wants to at least go out with me and have some fun. we live too close to the mountains, park city and other trails not to take advantage... that's how we are looking at it anyway.
The $600 Bonita http://www.rei.com/product/744738 or The $400 Piedra http://www.rei.com/product/730454 Thoughts?!

My advice is don't buy from REI. They are over proced and you won't get the best service. There are lots of good bikes in that price range. I suggest you go to Canyon Sports (not Canyon Bicycles) and talk to Sam. He is the most knowledgable bike person i have ever met. He will give you great service and really help you make a good choice. They sell Jamis and Raleigh and I think one or 2 others. They are located across the street from the Wild Oats in your area. Remember, when you buy a bike, you are also buying the support from the store that sold it. REI sucks in that regard. |

Check out my message in the "Mountain Bikes..." thread about the chance to demo some nice bikes this Sat. with Bike Peddler of Am. Fork. Demo location is Lambert Park in Alpine.
My wife is 5'1", and got a Santa Cruz Juliana from Bike Peddler. Really good bike, but might be more bike than your wife needs. They can get other bikes in small sizes, too. |
