Awesome! Congratulations on your lovely new bike
One of these days I would like to test-ride a 29'er just to see how one feels.

That's awesome! Congrats! Post pics when you have a chance.
P.S. I should probably ask this is a separate thread, how wide should bars be anyway? Is there an average size that most women (narrow shouldered women in particular) run? Do most women cut their bars down a bit?Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I think it depends a lot on personal preference & the type of trails you ride, but this guy had pretty wide shoulders and liked even wider bars. I'll hook a tree with them, at the least, but they put my hands so wide that I can't really support my upper body (I have narrow shoulders).
