OK, I am an idiot, so I am asking for TE opinions please. This was posted at my BFs company online bulletin board, and I am wondering I this is a good deal, and also strictly a mountain bike, or a hybrid or what?
I am 5’5’’, with short “piano legs”, as my mother used to say, so it may just fit. We also live on the edge of 12,000 acres of undeveloped watershed property, with miles and miles of logging trails, etc, so I can just go out my driveway and take off. It is a little too rugged for my Terry Susan B hybrid.
What do you ladies think- should I take up mountain biking? I am definitely going to get a road bike next spring, but this could be fun! (whoo hoo, my heart is beating faster just thinking about it, and is certainly not the dry-as-dust business requirements document I have been yawning over all afternoon).
WOMAN'S BIKE - '01 - Giant "Upland", 21 speed women's trail/road bike - excellent, near new condition - ridden less than 20 miles, dry basement storage. Frame size is 14.5 cm, will fit girls/women up to 5' - 4". CroMoly frame, Color: violet w/white lettering, 25 lbs, Shimano drive train and rapid-fire shifters, kickstand, water bottle cage, no shock absorbers - could install front shock absorber, if so requested. smooth shifting, good brakes, comfort riding position, solid bike. Paid $269 new, $135. go to: www.mountainbikereview.com for reviews. (11/30)
