Oh, mtn biking is so much fun!!!

I have a Cannondale F5 that I like very much. It's a bit heavier than some, but it's not like I lift it other than getting it in and out of the truck. In fact, I like the weight because I find going downhill and on technical stuff I feel more stable than when I was on a lighter bike. It's not WS, but it fits me well (I have a size small and I'm barely 5'3").

No matter what you choose- mtn biking is so much fun- and the shocks really do take the jarring out.
