The new bike and I have gone on two rides together. She's very cool. Climbs really well and blips over roots and things no problem. I have a lot more confidence on this bike than I have on any other mtn bike I've tried. Descending is great except when I have to do switchbacks... then I feel off balance and like I'm at risk for going over the front end. Any tips you mtn bike girls?? Maybe I should start another thread.
Still no pics. Soon.
Look right around the corner, not at where your front wheel is pointed. And slow down lots before you start turning - makes it easier to bail if it all goes pear-shaped... ;) :eek: :p

There has been a recent thread on just this topic, started by the lucky girl whose signficant other bought her a Spesh Safire? Covered a fair bit of ground about this topic, as she felt much more upright on it than her previous bike (Spesh Epic) and worried about going over the bars when descending.:) I think this is it..
