Re: +Elle+

  • I panicked!  I got a trek dual sport, with the understanding I am getting a good road bike in the fairly near future. I decided after looking that I didn't want an entry level road bike but I also didn't really know what I wanted and didn't want to spend thousands of dollars working it out. But I needed something for spring (we didn't move our old bikes with us) and it will be nice to have a lower end bike to ride around town even after I upgrade. 

    DH got this, which is far more exciting (if you are into mountain bikes, which he is): http://builder.santacruzbicycles.com/builder.html?id=6

  • Enjoy your new bike!

    The SC Tallboys are nice! I have a 29ner hardtail on order myself....

  • I'm a petty brat. I am not excited at all about my bike because I rode DH's and his was so smooth and nimble and mine is clunky and heavy.  I think I'm going to put a ribbon and a basket on it. Wink. But it will serve a purpose, DH said he will even ride it to do the grocery shopping.  And I intend to enjoy several months of looking for my new bike along the way. 
  • Ohh!  But, we did find an awesome LBS - http://helenscycles.com/

    The staff was awesome.  Honestly, so many people go on about loving their local bike/ running stores and I have never had anything but bad experiences. After posting on here last week I decided to try one more time, we went to Helen's, and they were great. So helpful.  I'm really excited to have found them.  

  • Helen's Cycles is pretty much legendary. I'm not exaggerating. I live in GA and have heard of them. I'm glad that you were able to find an awesome LBS! It really does make a difference.

    I think a ribbon and a basket would be perfect for your bike!  I think everyone needs a great commuter/store/errand/ride with the kids bike. My back up cyclocross bike doubles as my spring and summer "do everything" bike.

  • I didn't know my discovery was nationally known! They really are great. Everyone we spoke to was great. They actually talked me into waiting for a roadbike until I had a better idea what I wanted, which was really cool of them.
