The new MBA came this week and there is a couple of interesting articles. I know many (most) of you don't like MBA, but whatever.

They did a head-to-head 26er vs 29er... both Gary Fisher Paragons. Nothing all that earth shattering, imo... but some interesting stuff.

They also did a dream build - surveyed readers and built the as-voted ultimate trail bike. Was interesting to see what parts won out and what not.

Lastly, they did an article comparing 4 different suspensions - Santa Cruz VPP, Ironhorse's DW Link, Marin's (I forget what htey called it), and Giant's Maestro.
