Jamis Dakar,

She really only wanted a bike to cruise around with my little girls, but I wanted to give her something that if I talked her into riding on a trail she could enjoy it.

great first bike froz. If you can get past the suffering aspect of climbing up, you'll be hooked. Like Flava'Flav says "gotta get up to get, get, get down."
