I took my first real ride on it today on the North Trail and I have to say, this is the best trail bike i've EVER ridden. The rear suspension is AMAZING! On the Downhills the thing feel like a DH bike. The rear wheel sticks to the ground like mad. I am really impressed with the suspention design and how active it is during decents and hits, but how well it climbs.

The brakes are ridiculously powerful, i'd even venture to say more powerful than a lot of the hydros I have ohmy.gif

I am in looove with this machine, its the total hotness! Now maybe I can hang with the big boys on a real bike, instead of playing around with the kiddies on my Cross Check biggrin.gif

sorry about the bad picture, I had it in the stand working on some stuff, and just snapped a few pictures. I'll take some better ones later. The pictures cant do this thing justice anyway, its Sexy!

you are one to talk about disgusting avatars! :D

This makes 4 complete bikes. I have two frames and a fork on ebay, and have a bunch of parts laying around from them, enough to build a 5th if I really wanted too! :p

Sounds like you are in a good position to donate a bunch of parts. That way you'd have more room for bird seed and spray paint...

:rolleyes:
