Indy - Lol yeah I was NOT into the whole white mountain bike thing, I mean it's a mountain bike it's supposed to get dirty right?!?! Just wasn't feeling it with that color scheme. Catrin helped me eliminate that particular one from my list of possibles. I loved the Lexi but just couldn't get a very good deal on it. The Cypher has a lot better components and I have also heard very good things about the maestro suspension too. Let's hope I chose well :-)
