I bought a Juliana about 6 weeks ago and I LOVE it. I had been riding a Schwinn hardtail circa 2001 or so, and the difference is incredible. The technical riding I see is typical Pennsylvania woods, lots of rocks, hills and logs, and she EATS the ground up. I can see the suspension being a little too much for fast climbing (but I'm slow anyway, so it doesn’t matter for me) but I've seen very few downhill areas I haven't been able to handle on her! (and I'm kind of a wuss).

WSD-wise, I'm 5'3 with very short arms, and my small fits perfectly. Big difference from my previous frame, much better upper body position.
