We hate to say it, but there was a time, not too long ago, that $900 didn’t buy much bike. We don’t mean to imply that entry level bikes were bad, but they weren’t great. Great bikes can be lots of things: surprisingly good, more than the sum its parts, stylish, but more than anything a great bike has an x-factor, a personality, something special that gets under your skin and makes you think, “Oh, okay.

The 2011 Specialized Myka HT Elite 29 is the first mountain bike on the market to combine Specialized’s now legendary 29er frame geometry with their popular women specific designs. In short, the Myka 29 is fun, fast, designed to fit right, perhaps most importantly,  it looks  mean!
The 2011 Jamis Beatnik is everything you need and nothing you don’t. Steel frame & fork for smoothness and durability, a flip-flop single speed hub for simplicity, and front & rear brakes for safety, all for $370. Read More »
