New GT for my daughter, she doesn't like it.
:foo:
My 17 year old daughter wants a bike to take to college next year. She hasn't ridden since she was 14. I tried to talk her into a hybrid, but she insisted on a mountain bike. I bought this one for her last week, a GT Laguna Pro, womens specific, size small. She loved it at first, until she road my wife's Raleigh hybrid. Now she thinks it's too heavy and slow (it is).
Do you all think it would make a noticeable difference if I put skinnier, street tires on it?
I'm not really sure what bike it is, maybe a special run for Dick's Sporting Goods. It's $399 on their site, but not shown on the GT website. The only Laguna they show (non Pro) is a step-through. This one is equipped like the Aggressor Pro, so maybe just a womens colorway version of that bike?
