After a couple obsessive days of reading, emailing, calling, thinking, and talking it over, I think I’m leaning towards a Majacraft Suzie Pro.
One of the biggest advantages to this wheel is that the wheel itself, like on my Clemes, is solid as opposed to spoked. So little Clark can play with it (which he’s going to do anyway) and not pinch his hands or fingers when the wheel turns. Plus, as Nate pointed out, it’s a much more subtle wheel than most of the others, and isn’t going to be as much of a draw to kids, ours or otherwise, as much as a larger, fancier wheel would be.
So now I have to spin on a Majacraft to see if I even like it. (And figure out how to pay for it. Birthday or not, it’s a lot of money). I expect to like it, and certainly hope to like it, but you never know. It’s kind of silly to have made up my mind before even spinning on one. But what can I say?
Last night, the mess in the house was getting to me, so I spent between 3-4 hours cleaning it. This morning I woke up and felt so completely free… like the day was open to me and I could do whatever I wanted with it.
So I dug out 4 gallons of paint from the garage and started priming touch up spots.
That’s so pathetic.
I’m excited for Health Group tomorrow. So excited. Be sure to stop by.

It’s a great wheel. I am in the same position as you. I have to figure out how to pay for the thing. A dealer told me that the prices go up in June for all Majacrafts. I wish you luck in your acquisition.

Hey.. I was just looking at that SAME wheel. And I’ll warn you right now.. once you try spinning on a Majacraft.. you’ll never go back. I have had a Majacraft Rose for years (it’s so beat up now but i love it).. exccept it’s heavy. I’ve been looking at this model because of the ease of portability.
And as an FYI.. the Woolery.com is having a sale and all their wheels are also on sale.. check it out! They normally have some of the best prices anyway.. so maybe the sale will help with your decision *grin*
And hope ya feel better soon!
