I was wondering if anyone here had some good suggestions on a new bike for Belinda? (my wife)
All mountain-ish not too big but burly enough to handle black diamonds at Whistler?
What are you ladies riding? She weighs around 130 lbs.
thanks!

bike suggestions?
Transition Syren.
My sister just got one from Matt J @ North Shore Bike Shop and loves it. She is going to be racing a bit of DH on hers so its got a slightly burly build but have a talk to Matt, he will spec it out for your exact needs.
I ride Bikes
is that your bike on the left on the last picture?
just kidding, I'd suggest the syren as well, or maybe a reign.
Just because I like boys doesn't mean I want to go out with Mike.
Good suggestions so far. Also, add Bullit, SX Trail and Demo 7 to the list. All of them are smallish, have good standover and can be tweaked on their builds to be pedalled well (well enough for someone like me who doesn't yearn to climb but will, when necessary), yet are burly enough to take all the Shore and Whistler one wants!
I bet a Heckler would work out real nice.
My wife is 5-3….130lbs and rides a small 2008 demo 7…..lots of standover clearance!!!
Hey Thanks for all the suggestions!
Now we have a bunch to go out and try. The Demo 7 looks like a big bike though… how much does the small one weigh built up?

around 42 lbs
My wife has a new Reign 1, she is 5'5" and 130ish and she loves it, great bike for the price, She has ridden my Nomad and likes it too, Reign has better standover though. Both would be great rides.
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
Belinda likes the look of the Syren.
Stray, Do you know how much your sister's bike weighs?
It looks great, we will have to go and check it out at the bike shop.
Do you know if anyone else on NSMB is riding one? I would like to hear some first hand pro's and con's.
Cheers,

Looks like the Syren is not all mountain enough for what Bee wants to ride so we are still looking…..

What about Specialized SX trail? Did you check those out yet?
all investing is is a type of arbitrage, and thats not gambling. theres an element of risk and potential of profit involved, but those are broad and dont qualify somthing as gambling.
most Christians I know, myself included, would say that science is the way through which we learn about everything that God has created, but we learn at the pace which he sets for us.
Checking now…. thanks!

how about a trek remedy or fuel ex wsd?
reign x0 is a goo one too
Life's not a bitch, Life is a beautiful woman, you just call her a bitch cause she wont let you get that pussy.
I recently got a 2008 Giant Reign X1 and it has been great for what I need. Plus, amazing value for money!
The standover is really good and it has a low centre of gravity.
6" in the front and 6.7" in the rear.
My bike before this was a "light freeride" bike ('02 Fluid) around 41 lbs. and the Reign X1 is about 36-37 lbs. and every bit as capable. I just did the Rat Race on my Reign X1 this weekend and it handled great for that!
When I was making my decision, I test rode a 2007 Reign X0 for a week on all the different kinds of trails I could get to. It weighed 33 lbs. and pedaled a bit better than my Reign X1 so your wife may like that better if she's into pedaling?

you can always make more money but you can never make more time.
I think it's called work for a reason. Or else they probably would have called it fun-time at the fun factory.
