    Ooooohh!!! And your jeep provides the perfect backdrop. Congratulations on your new bike. The only thing missing is a respectable amount of mud on it.

    Nice!

    I really want to know what you think of it - i am thinking of a Giant for my next bike. I need a bigger bike for my small body, but i hate the geometry of small bikes...does that make sense? So i need to find a medium that would fit me...i was told Giants were made a little tighter in the cockpit, so those might work. Rocky Mountains are just too big...

    han-grrl, I I think you're right they are a little tighter in the cockpit. I'm 5'5" and have a small(16") - it feels great, doesn't feel like I'm stretched out. I really like this Rincon and the disc brakes(I guess the disc brakes aren't the greatest on the lower end bikes, not ever having disc brakes, they seem great to me). I've rode it on xc trails and paved bike paths, very funnnnn to ride(+comfortable). You should check out Giant.
