.....I've had a Ridgeback for several months now built up with a Z1 drop-off, MRP bones, avid mechanical's, etc. I use for going to the skatepark and doing some jumping. Its a fun bike to ride and appears to be pretty strong so far - they have a great price on them at www.pricepoint.com right now. Let me know what else you want to know.
I have one too.
The only complaint I have is I am running a quick-release on the back and it is almost impossible to get the rear wheel off with the adjustable dropouts. First I have to take off the skewer (which needed to be special-ordered since the dropouts are so fair apart), then I have to take out the adjustable dropout things (which I have to hammer out for some reason), and sometimes I even have to take off the derailleur. It is a real pain. However, I have been told if you have a thru-axle it works just fine.
Otherwise, the frame has been great.

My Ridgeback has the same paint but I have the vertical dropouts and not the horizontal ones and it is still a pain in the ass to get the rear wheel in - I find it easiest to to remove the quick release skewer completely, slide the wheel in and then reinstall the skewer. Other than that, its a great bike - I'll have to take a picture of it this weekend and post in the sticky hardtail thread.

Yes...What's your point? I'm not selling it because I don't like it. I'm selling it because I need the money.
