Women's MTBikes!

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can pass on any experience or feed back regarding women's bikes, particularly in the $1 to $2k mark?
I'm looking to upgrade my girlfriends ride - Until now she has been riding a 2009 Giant Alias, its getting a bit tired, and I was looking at getting her on a 29er...

Whilst she is rather slow, she technically rides pretty well. She manages to conquer nearly all the downhill I do, and I was hoping the 29er may help on the hills.

I've short listed the following, but happy to hear anyone's thoughts or suggestions:
