Took the GF to the bike store today, and one of the few things we found that fit her short self was a XS Yeti 575. They are doing a pretty good deal on them, and she's now saying she'll buy her own bike as she feels I spend too much money on her as it is.
I was kinda shocked by that. Most of the women who date me have been money grubbing whores.
She wants to slowly get into XC and a bit of very light free ride with me. I'm pretty stoked on the ideas as one of my favorite things to do with my belle du jour is to go for bike rides.
Does the 575 climb worth a ****? The ASR 5 is great, the 7 is over ratio though. The XS runs a RP23, which I like a lot more than the DHX Air. I know it'll descend, its a Yeti, but I kinda wanted to make sure that she's not going to stroke out on the climbs around here because her bike is too much bike to get up the hill.
Thoughts? Crass opinions? Dings on me personally?
