Ok riser bar is more what I was imagining re: the hand grips being more in reach. Looks like the bile came w a flat bar. Yeah the guys at my local shop are really great, I'm sure the guy's fit...

Sorry but what is a riser bar? I did get fitted to the bike but it's all really young guys who I'm sure like to race fast on their bikes. He seemed slightly disapproving that I wanted to get a...

Hi All,

I just got my first mtn bike, a Specialized Jett which I really like overall. It came with a pretty short stem to the handle bars. I realize that a less upright position is more the norm...

My dear beloved Doberman,

The UPS guys and all who wander up to our house are not afraid of sweet little you, who could resist your goofy smile and cute pointy ears at half mast? They are,...

Dear cat,

Please stop punching me in the face while Im sleeping with your claws casually hanging out, I will be able to adore and pet you much more efficiently tomorrow if you will just let me...

Lol, no I'm on the west coast, but apparently we live parallel lives in a twi-light zoney kinda way, lol. Oh, and I just ordered my first Specialized bike too, big congrats on your new bike! High...

I 'think aloud' more than feel a need to justify, plus it gives someone like you a chance to chime in on all my loud thinking lol, so i can gain more perspective... That is all good to know, actually...

Lol, point well-taken. Looking forward to losing a few pounds myself. I was amazed, getting on a bike again after so long, that it certainly does require some muscle to getcha up a hill! I'm...

Thanks Indy, very sound words. I don't want to go nuts upgrading a bike I have never even seen in person yet, but did read lots of pro and regular consumer reviews on this model where changing out ...

Hey Tigermom,

Urgh, what you say is true, Indysteel may not have realized about the discount factor. Thanks for weighing in, I think I will go for it and get the recommended lightweight tires~...

Excellent points Indysteel, thanks. Yes I tend to over think EVERYthing, lol. I'm satisfied with my choice this time based on the fit in my test rides. The only advantage to switching out the...

HA! I just had to comment that for whatever reason I've had the same experience, the Trek shop people (2 stores) were just not at all very friendly or helpful, really off-putting actually... and the...

Thanks for your input so far, you guys.

I just ordered the Jett. Good point about the frames being the same on the Trek wsd and unisex bikes, that's one of the first things the Trek dealer told...

One last bike shopping question, I've narrowed it down to these two 29ers.

I'm one of those women who really does seem to do better in the WSD, long legs and shorter arms and torso. I do notice...

Hi, thanks you guys,

Yes I think I will just get a higher end Myka, it did seem a good fit, and that's what all the LBS dealers say is most important as well...

Specialized in general seems a...

Hi Ladies, thanks for your input!

I'm just nutty when it comes to shopping for a big ticket item. We have my BF's new Mamba here, essentially the same one I ordered, and now I realize it's a nice...

Am thinking to cancel my order of a Trek Mamba and go with this Specialized model. THere is so little on the net about either 2012 bike, actually.

Thanks, I didn't see Giant locally, mainly Specialized, Cannondale, Norco, Scott, Kona and Janis (sp)?

I'm considering the Specialized Jett Comp 29 as it has hydraulic brakes and rockshox fork,...

Trek, Specialized, or Kona??

I'm having buyer's regret after ordering the Trek Mamba, am thinking to go back to the Specialized store and try them out again. The problem is our local Specialized...

Hi Forum Peeps,

I am new to mtn-biking and just bought a 2012 Trek mamba 29er, WSD. I just now registered for this forum so there may be more about it in the archives, but just google searching...
