My wife got a Teramo when I got my Calfee. It was her first performance bike. She's been riding great on it and hasn't had any complaints. We did Glendora Mountain Road (8 mile climb) a couple weeks ago. I couldn't believe how well she climbed!

I wanted to get an Ultegra bike for her and the owner of my LBS recommended the Teramo as a good fit for her at a good price point. We changed the seat (comfy girly seat) and seatpost (carbon fiber) as well as the handlebars (different size). I'll never forget how happy she was when we brought it home!
