Hi everyone, you might remember me from the Girl=pastel thread last week. I've moved on and am ready
to consider bikes.
I've been looking a little more closely at women's bikes now that I've decided for sure that I want
a new one. Are there any women on here that own or have ridden and have an opinion on the Trek WSD
bikes 2300, 5200, the Cannondale R800, R2000 and the Specialized Women's Dolce Vita. I have two LBS
chains here in the Twin Cities--one sells Treks and LeMonds and the other sells Cannondales and
Specialized. The person with whom I spoke at one seemed really keen on selling me a Dolce Vita even
though it's a special order only bike and I've got no test ride option. He was really into the
women's geomery on that bike. He suggested I come in and test ride the plain Vita and make my
decision based on that.
So, my finalist are probably the Trek 2300 (even though I still don't like the blue), the Cannondale
800 and the Specialized Dolce Vita, all triple crank, cuz I'm a baby. This final list is based on
components, frame material and my desire to spend sensibly, not wildly. As much as I would like to
get a custom colored/built bike, It just doesn't feel right to me at this point.
So ladies, any opinions you'd like to share? Or, so I'm not discriminating, any men with wives,
girlfriends or friends who have opinions?
