ok i need some help again. few months ago i posted asking for some advice what bike is best for me. well since then things have changed.. like I no longer living in New York City now... but living in Georgia, not in the city, but in the country. lol Just moved here three weeks ago. anyway, just came back from the store Free-Flite Bicycles in Canton, GA (Riverstone location). I'm 5'4" so looking for a bike to test drive aint gonna be that easy. was lookin at the FX 7.2 which they have 2011 model at 15 inches. they gonna have that bike in store for me to play around tomorrow. store price is $499

now I am thinking maybe I should get a bike with some front suspension?! was talking to the guy about where i can ride, and he was saying that most trails are dirt. maybe i can get away with the easiest trails riding the 7.2. so that got me thinking. not looking to spend so much money, so the DS is out of the question. what's your thought on the 7100?

This store only carries Trek. so getting a Giant not gonna help. I would have to drive an hour if i want to see a Giant bike. and right now I am not interested doing that.

any help will be great appreciated. thanks.

anyone here from the area??
