    Nope - not me at least

    But in case anyone is confused...

    The Cross Check is 700c diameter wheels, and will take probably ~38's (maybe more...)

    The LHT (at least in the size most women would ride) has 26" diameter wheels and will take very wide tires - I was thinking she might want to do something along the lines of what bikerhen has done

    Weight is the biggest consideration. I have to lift it up on the bus rack. Between now and Spring I'll be test hefting quite a few bikes.

    I can just see you in a bike shop doing curls with a bike in each hand. A couple in the right, nope, do a couple with the left, nope, back to right, try a couple more. Put down bikes, pick up a pair more.....

    Do it at home too! The more times you heft up a bike, the stronger you will get!
