Hi all, I'm a new convert to the world of cycling and I'm loving it i have to say. (though wasnt loving it that much on the 'hill' in Inisteoige in the Tour de Kilkenny. Who would've thought that the Pyrenees stretched all the way to Kilkenny! - great tour btw!). I'm clearly loving it too much however as the soon to be Mrs. Trappatoni has decided she is going to take up cycling too!:eek:
With Mrs Trapps birthday coming up, I am looking at getting her a road bike to join me on the sportives! So the question is what to get her?

The good news is that I'll be moving to the US in the very near future, so am looking to buy over there. I am mainly looking at an entry level c$700 for her, and was thinking of the Felt ZW100 http://www.feltbicycles.com/USA/2010-Product-Catalog/Fit-Woman/ZW-Series/ZW100.aspx

Is this the right type of bike for Mrs. T (2B)? From my perspective it's spot on, seeing as i have a team carbon boardman, so the weight differential should be enough to keep her a few feet behind me and for my male ego to remain intact!! Any suggestions from the female experts out there as to what a good bike for her might be? Mainly would see her doing 50-100k cycles, and probably moving on to triathlons.

Any advice greatfully accepted!
