Me and Maverick (MTB) have been happily blazing the rail trails until I decided that I needed speed, so the boys at the LBS (absolutley drooling with excitement) put these skinny little tires on the bike and--whoa--a whole new biking experience! So now I'm thinking of "moving up" but don't want to spend alot of money until I'm sure that this is the direction I want to go. So (to make a long story short) I found at "bikesdirect.com", a women's specific bike for $459 including shipping. However, I've googled, and searched but NO ONE else carries this bike nor can I find any reviews about it. The price is right, the size is right(short) but am I crazy to spend money on a no-namey bike? It's a real pretty bike-purple or pink (hey, when you're over 55 it's okay to wear purple!). Definately not going out for century rides but a few half centuries wouldn't be out of the picture. Any thoughts? Suggestions?
