evil laugh... just think how much more you'd enjoy it on a $2200 bike. Say what's up with the hubby having the NICE bike? pfft.

Sure they say it's the rider not the bike, but take my word for it, a nice bike helps.

I got to see the Safire in carbon fiber this summer; one of my camp coaches has one. OMG, 22 pounds? $7K too but that is a different story.

FWIW, I have a stumpy FSR expert, omg nice ride, it just eats up the trail...
