I have a freshman in college and 2 high school juniors. In about 5-6 years life might not be so expensive. In the meantime, I intend to enjoy the heck out of this bike. If I waited until I had the $ to get the bike of my dreams, that's where it would stay – in my dreams. The sale price on this bike made it just barely do-able. It's light years better than the Giant Boulder I had in the 90s. I'm looking forward to learning to MTB and hitting the local trails. One trailhead is right off my usual morning commute.

She's brushed aluminum with black accents. She still needs a name.
