Of course It'll be a late Mothers Day gift (as usual ...)
She's 67 but super light and fit.
She rides in a fairly hilly area with a big, heavy hybrid and wants something lighter and faster.
I've got that new bike review and recommendations edition from Cycling Mag somewhere around, but until I find it I'm wondering what the BF folks might recommend for an old lady who wants to blast up those hills.
So far I've looked at the Trek 1000 and the entry Jamis Ventura Comp - I'm not impressed with the components, but they might be fine for her needs (and my budget) Obviously comfort is a consideration - don't want to get something that will be brutal on her bony old arse.
Anyone?
Hey EG,
You got my attention when you described your MOM as
"67 but super light and fit".
I wasn't sure at first if you were talkin about a bike or what.
But you're right, the Ole Girl needs a brand new ride for that cute, tight, little bottom that you so aptly described as a
BONNY old arse but didn't know how to spell.
That public school education!!!!!!!!!!!!!
