I guess I see the next model up with a better brake and fork for $899, not a bad deal. For $1199 you would be really good. A brake will run you around $100, and fork will get you around $400-500. I would personally look at the long range savings and get the top of the line. Your going to spend less and get a lot better bike.
I do like the color better of the cheap one, but ya gotta get past that
It will be an ok starting point, and get you rolling right away.
Personally, I would save a little more, and start out with better components.... Maybe scoring a few items used to keep the price down.
One thing that I noticed when sitting on Bryce's bike was that the short top tube lead to some foot clearance issues for x-ups and barspins. Plus, it seemed a little short for us tall guys. But, other than that, the thing is pretty dope.
Your STP had shorter than a 21.5" TT? Plus, this has a really steep HT angle by mtb standards at 72. It definitely hit my foot when I turned the bars. It doesn't quite hit the pedals, but it hit my foot way more than just a little buzz.
But, I still think you'll like the bike, as long as x-ups and bar spins aren't your thing.
