DH has been mountain biking for 6 years and raced in college, he definitely deserved the upgrade but waited because he bought me my nice road bike first. Man his hardtail he had was old and a POS, my Scott is better than it! Of course my $200 Scott is actually their $600-700 Hardtail, I just got it for a great price off Craigslist from someone who used it as a commuter.

I suspect I will upgrade but right now 'tis only a dream. I probably should be riding more than a month or two on the trail before upgrading. I do deserve a great bike though, every girl does!

DH will be the first to tell me to buy something like this when I think I am ready for us to plunk down the cash. I really wish the LBS would sell that Safire though, it is one of the few WSD FS bikes they have and it just beckons me. Maybe they will just put it on sale really cheap since it is a high end Women's bike in my size. Haha.

You are all such enablers.
