The Specialized Women’s Specific Demo Rides and Body Geometry Presentation on Wednesday night was a successful and fun event that brought together women from around the area.
We took some Specialized demo bikes out for rides, with one group doing dirt up at Waterdog, putting some Safires and Eras through a few singletrack tests, and another group hitting the road with feather light Rubys. Our trail riders reported enjoying the stiffness of the full suspension carbon frames, with the brain technology keeping the bike feeling quick and nimble on the climbs, yet active on the downhills. The Ruby riders liked the vibration damping qualities of the zerts inserts in the fork, seat stays and seat post, not to mention the overall speedy feeling of these awesome bikes that take the same concept of the men’s Roubaix and size the frame and spec the components to suit womens’ proportions better.

It’s the end of the season and the 2010 bikes are rolling in from most of the manufacturers. In turn we are selling off a few of our demo bikes to make room for a few new ones we have coming in.

Whew! We just had a fantastic weekend running our third Fall demo event at the shop. We had major league participation from Giant, Specialized, and Santa Cruz for the first time, and were also able to round out this fleet with bikes from Maverick and Ibis, allowing us to send out over 200 separate test rides over the two days. I want to thank everyone that participated, from those that came to tempt themselves by looking at new hardware, to the benevolent bunch that volunteered to help us keep things running smoothly, to those that just left a little extra in the til or the tip jar before the end of the day. We have been getting a lot of positive strokes and good feedback since Sunday, and it would not have been as good without everyone’s help.
I still want to hear what bikes you liked, what you liked about them, what you didn’t see or get to try, and what surprised you. Add a comment to this thread, or shoot something out to info@PassionTrailBikes.com. Santa Cruz left some bikes here for a couple extra days, so I was able to get a long ride in on a Blur LT Carbon yesterday. Look for a more thorough ride report on that one from me soon.
We ran special pricing on all bikes this past weekend, special orders and stock bikes included, and sold a few bikes and frames in the process. If you are regretting not taking advantage of that and getting one for yourself, let me, Berry, or Pancho know and we will do what we can for you.
I am updating Passion’s Flickr page tonight, and a few images from the weekend are already posted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51326343@N00/sets/72157622385579697/
