eric strt6 Resident Curmudgeon Sep 8, 2001 23,282 13,563 directly above the center of the earth Nov 18, 2012 #11 Ok first impressions: The SRAM shifters are going to take some getting used to. Push push is weird. The bars are too flat for my taste but the stem reach is right so a set of riser bars is going to be one of the first swap outs Suspension, too soon to tell but it does climb steep wet gravely fire roads with ease Brakes are going to need more bedding in but the Hayes Dyno will more than cover my needs Seatpost has got to go, I am way too used to a remote adjustable post to go back to a dismount quick release set up Tires who knows, at least they didn't pack up with mud. The bike fits me and with just a few tweaks I think I will have some good fun with it. oh yeah it is the XL Park just 10 minutes from my house was my test ride fun little climb not too dirty post first ride
