I think it would be a good frame but I really don't like the propietary head tube/fork. Having no fork options doesnt appeal to me.Originally posted by dg806

Well, there are several Jekyll riders in Monkeyville that love their rides.
The fork/head tube is a given, but damn do those puppies FLEX!!! Also, I can't figure climbing on those things without the lockout...and I am of the opinion that a good full sus bike should not require a lock out. (okay, let the attacks beginOriginally posted by dg806

) The sus should be part of the ride, both up and down! Just my $.02 of course.

Rm...that is one thing I don't like about Cannondale! They have all their stuff that won't interchange with other parts. I changed crank and rings on my Jekyll and had to change BB to get it to fit! Pain in the ass! Great bikes other than that...MBC, you won't belive how these shocks ride until you try it! 100mm of travel and tough as crap! I would venture to say it will outperform 90% of forks! Most people that ride them say they are better than double forks and lighter!
And I forgot, stronger also!

I wouldnt mind having one of those Canondale freeride bikes with the SuperT. I don't really have issues with their frames its just the proprietary parts I dont like.
No...me 190 w/o gear!
I do have a problem with a couple of the bikes that have been suggested though. Believe me Chief, I rode the piss out of many a bike before I bought. I'd stop people on trail...the whole bit! it just so happens that I have a particular gripe with the FSR line, and the C-dales (don't get me ghoing on the Sugars!). Aside from an Intense, or a Stinky, I really have not felt too confident on a multi-pivot trail bike (notice that distinction!!!). I just think IAB would be better served by a stout trail rig, rather than a boarder line race/trail bike.
I'll shut up now.
Alright Spincylce, it was nice, but didn't it look...well...funky!
It just looked odd is all.

LOL Spincycle!
Hey SpinCycle, whats up with your post count
Hey SpinCycle, whats up with your post count
There was a period, when I, like IAB, was searching for a burly trailbike that could still climb. Although I did entertain the idea of setting up a real dh rig with a double ring up front and just suffering on the climbs, it doesn't work. Life is painful enough already.
Answer me this: How come the LBS I stopped in tonight told me Bullits will not be available until June/July, and Hecklers will not be available until August/September, yet Cambriabikes.com has BOTH?
The LBS did not have Bullits or Hecklers to check out, so he tried selling me a K2. They did have all Kona's 25% off, but no Bear. If they did have one, for 25% off, I would be the proud owner of a new Bear right now.

IAB's got the itch something fierce!!! I'll lay odds you're rolling a new bike by the weekend!
I don't know, bro. I've got all this money to spend on a bike, but nobody wants to sell me one!
Maybe Cambria did a preorder or something. Perhaps the Bullits are on backorder now.Originally posted by I Are Baboon

Keep talking, monkeys. I'm listening.
The Giant NRS Air is a stiff race bike.
There are ZERO Giant dealers near us.
That solves it, you need to move!
I don't want a stiff race bike.
I didn't even see an AC AIR(2002 bike) ont their website. What year model?
OK.....This is the bike for you IAB! Damn, I think I need one!!

http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/02/cusa/model-2VG2.html
There is no way that bike is coming into my house!
OK MBC.......what is it you don't like about this one!! I think it's sweet!
IAB...hey dude....your got your pants on backward! Show her who's boss!!!
It's a Cannondale.
Oh I see...you must be politically correct too!!
