Sorry to butt in, I have to agree with Kathi that Speedgoat is a great place to do business with! They are fast and very knowledgeable and pleasant - two thumbs up

If you're looking to spend upwards of $1000 on a frame, the Titus Racer X is a great option. If you want a little more travel, check with Charles at www.hammerheadbikes.com for a smaller version of his 100x. Its basically a Racerx tweaked for 100mm of travel. Another great option would be the Titus Locomoto and Ventana Pantera. Both single pivot bikes with lots of standover. Ventana might even be able to do a custom frame you but they are pricey.

The Santa Cruz Juliana might be another option to look at. Its a very comfortable bike from a great company and many women love that bike. It didn't work out for me b/c the top tube was too short and I felt cramped. I also didn't like the shorter wheelbase. ALthough, it was great for tight singletrack, it wasn't as stable as I would have liked for higher speeds.

If you don't want to spend so much, check out the XS Ironhorse Hollowpoint. That bike has one of the best suspension designs I have ridden; and I have a Turner Boy, if someone could make a high quality frame with that design, it would be a killer ride!

Anyway, enjoy your bike shopping! Its always fun, eh!

Cheers,
Kristina
