The old lady needs a bike, looking for some suggestions.
She is most likely looking for something in the long travel cross country/short travel freeride area.
She has borrowed a hard tail cannondale, my buddy's trek fuel with 80mm travel, and ridden my kona coiler with 160mm travel. She wants something that will pedal a little more efficiently than my kona (of course she rode it when it had 2.5 muddy mary's on it, so it wasn't rolling super smooth that day) but with a bit more travel than my buddies old fuel.
She wants something that is more cross country/all mountain oriented that she can also do some downhill/all mountain/lift/shuttle runs on with the emphasis on the cross country type riding for the most part.
Most likely pick up something used, she hasn't given me a $$ range yet, but I am assuming something in the $800-$1500 range.
she's a "tall" 5-6" so probably something in the small-medium sized range.
