I got a bike!
 
Well, the boyfriend and I spent the day visiting seemingly every bike shop on god's green earth ... and I came home with a new set of wheels!!!!

Ended up with the Stumpjumper hardtail with disc breaks in black. The black is taking some getting used to (although its growing on me - I was hoping for a color a little girlier ;)) but other than that I LOVE the way it rides and feels!!!!!

Tomorrow I will hit the trails for the first time in a while ... it might not be pretty ... but I'm sure it will be FUN!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the suggestions!

the black one is the best stumpjumper you can get!

Congrats, stuntjumpers aren't half bad :)

Have fun on the trails and don't break a collarbone ;)

I love your bike. I just couldn't swing it when I was shopping, though.

Excellent purchase! :)

just remember, black paint is lighter than pink or purple.
