No im not buying it for me ...

nigelhicks Posted May 8, 2012 Share If you want light weight, race rig, go cannondale...Santa Cruz is for "Cruising"... Well she needs to be able to "race" it as an XC bike - but she is a Downhiller (has a Trek Session 88) so it needs to take the punishment of being ridden hard like an AM bike. ... so that be the quandary.
