    That's wonderful -- it's always satisfying to hear someone with a newfound passion for cycling!

    What Scott bike do you have that you like so much, climbergirl?

    The 2011 Scott Contessa Speedster 15.

    I must have test ridden about 20 bikes. The Scott just felt right. The fit was nearly perfect out of the box (yes, I got a fitting after buying it), and it just moves with me and handles like a dream.

    I'm now the world's biggest proponent of test riding until something just feels really good.
