From memory the Camber has more of male geometry? I know my wife has found the specialized mens bikes to have slightly too long a top tube (forces her to stretch out too much causing her back pain). She has both an Era and a Safire (both female specific Specialized mtb bikes) and loves them.I searched and found a few references to this bike, but nothing conclusive..
Does anybody ride one? Reviews? Thoughts?
Looking for a comfortable ride, and loved the big wheels when I tried a 29er..

perhaps take one for a test ride? I am sure some specialized dealers (eg. Total Rush, Trailmix, etc) can organise something for you...
The Camber is a 26inch isn't it???I searched and found a few references to this bike, but nothing conclusive..

If you're serious about buying a bike (and it sounds like you are) and dropping serious $$, any decent bike shop would be stupid to treat you poorly.It's hard to get good advice at the shops when you're a girl and harder to find the right size to ride when you're short!
Yup, am sorting out the good from the not, that's for sure Cheers for the advice!If you're serious about buying a bike (and it sounds like you are) and dropping serious $$, any decent bike shop would be stupid to treat you poorly.
Having tagged along with my wife while she was buying a nice XC bike I must say that there must be a lot of stupid people working in bike shops then. Quite a sad situation but there are exceptions to the rule.If you're serious about buying a bike (and it sounds like you are) and dropping serious $$, any decent bike shop would be stupid to treat you poorly.
nice work.......didn't know Trek made the Camber as well ;-)Thanks for the feedback all.
Am still pondering options.. Have found a store who have been very helpful; they've arranged with Trek to have a small bike sent to their store for me to try with no obligation which is very cool If that rides well I'll prob get it. (it's not a 29er though, shh!)
