Juliana Furtado Primeiro - Review
I think you totally miss the point if you get wrapped up about minor things like handle bars and saddle. This is all about brand. Once you get past specs, serious riders get seriously religious about their favorite brands, men and women. And big props to Santa Cruz for spinning off a badass women's brand, recognizing that women want serious beefy bikes without being talked at like they're 20 year old boys. Or having their boyfriend/husband/guyfriend pick their bikes for them. This is the Furtado - backed and named after the first mountain bike world champion Julie Furtado, queen of the mountain, dominating the sport for years. And the Julian team have some seriously amazing women riders ripping it up. You guys might be right about the resale prospects, but I'm totally sold and stoked. I'm waiting on my 2015 Hella Yella version. Thanks for the great review.
