Seriously...I just want to thank each & every one of you ladies for your input. I will check out all the options that you've given me & I promise to go to a VERY reputable bike shop that trully knows it's bikes & riders. You ladies have given me some really great knowledge that I can bring with me. I hope that each of realized how much it means to me. None of you even know me, but are still willing to help. You're all really great people! If any of you hear of bikes that are coming out that I should go check out...please let me know! THANKS AGAIN!
