What makes you think that your opinion about a bike that you haven't even seen is more accurate than the OP's wife who has ridden the bike and likes it? What makes you think that you can evaluate her needs better than she can? What makes you think that she isn't competent to tell if the brakes, or whatever, work?

Well now, that's his opinion and he's entitled to it even if he offers no facts to support it. I tend to dismiss posts like that one and pay attention to those that offer valid arguments for their conclusions.

Thanks for coming to the defense of my wife. I'll tell her. She'll be thrilled!
