levett Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Giant Trance X1.The Trance is quite 'tall' (in my opinion) - quite high BBAt 5'6" ish sommething else might feel a bit more manageable

dirtrider Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Tell her to get a Chumba' date=' they are THAT good! [/quote'] Rather wait for the Morewood then !!! I think it would be better for her to look at the lady specific bikes
jagwil Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Please guys when referring to a bicycle it is DUAL Suspension not duel suspension. duel (plural duels)Combat between two persons, often over a matter of honor. A struggle between two contending persons, groups or ideas.dual 1. Characterized by having two (usually equivalent) components. 2. Doublejagwil2009-10-22 11:43:15
