    My new ride!

    A Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc in black and white I tried the entry level one and just fell for it, the LBS owner held the bike at the front so I could get a feel for it, and it literally just felt as if it was ready to set off there and then! Sadly it was minus 3 and icy, and I was on my own with the toddler so no test ride. They are ordering in the Sport Disc for me and will be adding a Sonoma women's saddle, which I can swap out if need be, crud catcher mudguards, water cage, bottle and pump. I didn't have any problems with the standover height or reach, and the 15.5" mens frame felt to be a better fit than the 17" Myka was for me. They are going to deliver it on Saturday, I can have a quick ride to check the fit but then it's going to be put away til Christmas

    woo hoo! Thank you for all the help on here, much appreciated.
