My girlfriends were amazed at what I would do on my old bike. I swear you could hear my teeth rattling in my head as we rode down rocky technical singletrack. But the hardtail made me a better rider, made me pick my line and stick to it, taught me how to move around and use my body more. The full sus feels like riding a couch compared to my old beater. So no apologies for your sad looking bike. She will teach you a few things.
