If she is going to continue riding like she is(some road some mt) I would seriously think about staying with a hardtail.
She should take Elle's SJ out for a try if we can get the seat low enough.
Maybe NJ Jess could give you an idea

heythorp said:sunday is cool if you want to take it, Elle is going to a wedding Saturday wont be back until late Sunday. So its your if you want. We just have to remember to take out some air becuase its set up for my fat ass right now.
Maybe its time for a pedal try too?
