A local shop has one of these bikes for sale for ~1500 which seems like a really good price. They have both the L and the XL in stock so i've been able to ride them around and it seems like a pretty solid ride. Of course the fox fork feels great, and although i'd never seen a bike w/ the 'triad' rear shock on it, it feels alright and i like that it has 3 settings, locked out, propedal and fully open. The rest of the component pick seems pretty good, xtr out back and xt up front w/ mavic rims. full specs
Does nyone own one of these, or one of the stumpjumper series that they have put through its paces and could comment on its performance and durability?
