Note : The Rhode Island Trials school has been rescheduled to the Sunday prior to 4/23 due to hunting conflicts and will be held 4/16, also hunters orange needs to be worn by all participants
I have had both GG and Beta and I think someone just starting out would be better off with a Beta if the price is right for the shape it is in.
Not bashing GG as they are a nice bike but just my 2 cents
