I purchased a 2009 Specialized Myka FSR Comp Limited Edition just a week ago. I've already taken it on 4 rides and I am absolutely loving the hell out of it. It performs beautifully uphill and downhill, on single track as well as wide fire roads. Lately I almost exclusively ride Sycamore Canyon in Riverside, CA, just to give you an idea of what I am using it on. (The park is like a single track roller coaster ride for varying skill levels ). Goes over sand fairly well, and I feel like I have good control on the curves speeding downhill. I get plenty of the "bouncy bouncy" ;-) going over rocks and even uphill. Love the shocks. I am only 5'2" and I got the small, and it is really nice to finally have a bike that caters to my physiology, and that doesn't feel too big.

I wasn't particularly looking for this bike when I set out to buy a new full suspension mountain bike. However, I am *so glad* that I decided to try it out when I saw it hanging there at the shop. It just happened to be the only women's specific bike they were selling, and was a special order someone had never picked up. Lucky me! Within about 3 minutes of riding it around I knew that it was the bike for me. It is a great bike for an affordable price. I am just barely an intermediate rider (but getting better all the time!), and I think riders of all skill levels would be happy with the Myka FSR.

One other nice thing-- 10% of the proceeds of the sale of the Limited Edition bike (the pink and black one), goes to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. So you're also supporting breast cancer research in the process!
