Bike Options?

Indy - Lol yeah I was NOT into the whole white mountain bike thing, I mean it's a mountain bike it's supposed to get dirty right?!?! Just wasn't feeling it with that color scheme. Catrin helped me eliminate that particular one from my list of possibles. I loved the Lexi but just couldn't get a very good deal on it. The Cypher has a lot better components and I have also heard very good things about the maestro suspension too. Let's hope I chose well :-)

Brian's Redline 29er is white with black and red details. It's neat. The white Cypher though with the blue scroll work. Well, it's just not as need as the red one.

In any event, I tend to think you choose well. That bike appears to be speced very nicely. I'm glad you got a deal, too. That always helps.

Happy (and safe) riding!

I think you are going to love your new bike! Just looked over the specs and it looks like a really great bike. Happy Trails!

She is a sweet bike for sure! May she bring you as much joy as my tough little Jamie

edited: I meant to say "Jamis" but Jamie might have to be her real name

I am pretty excited about it. I'm going to take it VERY slow to start this time. I don't want to go by myself either. That was a mistake I made before that I don't care to repeat. Is there anything I can do to work on just getting used to the bike in an off road fashion that doesn't require me to immediately jump into single track?

I'd be happy to meet you down at BCSP (or someplace closer to home) and run through the drills that we learned at the clinic. It's been forever and a day since I've seen you!

One other option is to contact the person Catrin worked with for a private session. I'm not sure how much she would charge or if she's currently available, but I think it would be money well spent.
