WE just got one in at the bike shop i work at. The finish is killer, it looks like a redwood tree. I'll see if i can get a picture, and i'll be sure to post more about it as soon as i get a chance to ride it. I road it on the road and up and down some curbs, but not anywhere near enough to get a good judgement of it. but it did feel real good on pavement

to be continued...

My buddy Luke has one. Its a pretty good bike for him since he's 6'5" and makes 26" wheels look like 20"

I took it out today for some XC over at a local park. the conditions weren't ideal as it just rained about 2 and a half inches in my neck of the woods and there were wet muddy leaves everywhere.

My honest initial reaction was that I didn't like it, it felt big and unwieldy. after i got a little more used to it, i enjoyed it more, but i wish it were just a bit more nimble. only so much you can ask for with a 29er tho.

I'm gonna be taking it out on some trails that are in better condition tommorow so another update is immenent,

peace

sorry it took a while between posts. after riding it on some trails that were in better condition i was much more impressed by the bike. on climbs its like cheating, and it is incredible on decents. still leaves a little bit to be desired as far as tight cornering goes, but it more then makes up for it in other areas

I just built up a FSR 29er, here is a pic of the silver expert frame with my pricepoint bastardized parts.. http://gallery.mtbr.com/data/mtbr/501/medium/fsr29side.jpg

With a 69.5 degree head angle, the FSR 29er has to be one of the slowest handling production 29ers there is.

that may be so, but it is a disgustingly good climber
