Liesl, Last fall, Grant let me ride the Appaloosa and I was amazed at the handling of that bike. It just felt "right". I went there to have Grant help me with my fit. In addition, after a lot of discussion, beside bike fit, I discovered that I was tightened my hip flexors doing sit ups. Again, many thanks to Grant. Don
