I was in your same position several years ago. I was fortunate and my wife stuck with it and we got about 2 years out of a Diamondback entry model. She has since upgraded. Let her make the decision.
I had been searching CL since I picked up cycling in June and unfortunately they have not had anything worth inquiring about. I live in middle GA and you can comfortably ride 9-10 months out of the year. I have been told that as a result, people tend to hold on to there bikes until they are completely trashed which is what I have seen. Thanks for the suggestion though.
