I went way overboard...

Ooo - that is gorgeous! I know exactly how you feel about going overboard.

I have always been a dedicated roadie and only fairly recently started riding an MTB. I was talked into it by my husband - a slightly earlier convert who took to it with a passion usually reserved for the reformed smoker who wants everybody else to quit!

Since I am a roadie and hate wasted energy, and was unsure how much I might like MTB, my first purchase was a very conservative hardtail (Kona Lisa HT) bought with an eye for value such as my very Scottish genes would dictate.

Of course MTB turned out to be as addictive as any other cycling pursuit, and so it was that in short order I was in the market for a duallie with some nice gear. Long story to short - I ended up with one of these... a Specialized Era Marathon.


I love it with a passion and it was worth every lousy Aussie dollar I paid for it. But every time somebody goes "Hmmm - nice bike!" I feel compelled to point out to them that the legs riding it don't in any way measure up to the standard of the bike!

Enjoy it - ride it like you stole it!
