Hello from Maryland
 

I have been biking my whole life and started mountain biking 18 years ago on a Specialized Hard Rock. I have been out of the saddle for a while but now am back and have been riding at Patapsco State Park, which is gorgeous and fun. But I need a new ride. I love my old my bike, as it has seen me through some serious ups and downs, but it has just never quite fit me right. It's pink and purple but I think it's really a men's bike just painted. So, I'm looking to buy a new bike that fits and I have enjoyed what I've read in this forum.

Well howdy! I'm your neighbor down in Germantown! If I read this right you're feamle? If so, ask for an invite to the WOmens Forum

thanks
 

thanks for the welcome, dingster. I just got the invite to the Women's Forum and am looking forward to checkign it all out.

Hi Livie, the women's forum can probably give you some good hints and tips on the bike selecting. I had a hard time when I first started riding because I am quite short, but I found out that there were vintage bikes in my size that fit perfectly, and now I am addicted to old steel bikes :D .

Welcome to BF, and feel free to PM me with any questions :) !
