Frustration with finding a new MTB

[tattiefritter]

When you say no suspension do you mean fully rigid or no rear ruspension? If fully rigid then you should be able to get a really good hardtail for a couple of thousand dollars.

If you mean no rear suspension and want full boinger then I would think that if you are too tall for the largest Juliana then you will have a good chance of finding a non-wsd bike to fit (and a good chance of getting hold of a demo bike as well). As well as the Superlight, there is the Blur which comes in a few variants, notably XC (short travel) and LT (long travel). I don't think the geometry is that radically different to the Juliana.

If you are going to spend some money then there is also Titus:

Racer X: for lightweight racing,
MotoLite: All mountain allegedly (whatever that means).

They have a good article on women's fit:

Thanks for the help everyone!
I have a fully rigid hard tail already so that's why I'm thinking full suspension.
I really like the looks of the Titus bikes but no one in my area carries them so there's no chance to try them out. Also, if I get a Titus I won't get lifetime free adjustments/maintenance from my LBS (not a huge deal but something to consider). Any suggestions on Titus sizing? (I'm 5'9" 155 lbs) Does anyone have any experience with the Moto Lite?
I'll check into the Superlight. Sounds like a very good option.
All of these bikes far exceed my MTB skills at this point but hopefully they are bikes that, as I improve, I'll still be happy with in the long run. Overall, it looks like I'm going to have to fork over more dough than I originally thought to get what I want. I guess I'll just put getting a new road bike on hold for a while.
Thanks again for all the help!
