I've never ridden this bike, but someone who has ridden it had this to say about it.

I gained in confidence on one ride, and thoroughly enjoyed myself, whereas previous MTB outings usually leave me feeling glad to have survived.
As someone who has tested more than 10 different shades of pink paint for a bathroom remodel and is still not sure she chose the right one, I totally understand where you're coming from. But it seems that you really liked riding the bike that you bought, and you had the opportunity for a nice long test-ride. Is there something else out there that you might also like? Sure. But I think you'll be happy with your choice.
