Gary Fisher Mendota Review

I just took delivery of my new 2011 Mendota, so happy!  This is a fast commuter and the carbon fiber forks / seat post, provide a plush ride.  The SLX rear derailleur delivers tight shifting and makes quick work of getting my daughter (in a Topeak Child Seat) to preschool.  The ride inspires confidence in off weather; you can really throw it around in traffic and the disk brakes scrub off the speed in a hurry.

Evan, at Village Cycle got me into the Mendota and was a wealth of knowledge; it's a bike that offers an athletic ride and doubles as the "child seat bike".  Well done, and thank you!

Get one before their gone!
