What Scott bike do you have that you like so much, climbergirl?
The 2011 Scott Contessa Speedster 15.
I must have test ridden about 20 bikes. The Scott just felt right. The fit was nearly perfect out of the box (yes, I got a fitting after buying it), and it just moves with me and handles like a dream. 
I'm now the world's biggest proponent of test riding until something just feels really good.
