So I was at the LBS a couple of days ago having them check my frame alignment cause I think it's bent and I saw this. I took it out and rode it around the parking lot a bit. It seemed nice. At around $750 dollars I thought it was a great example of distilling down the very essence of mountainbike. It had no suspension, mech disks, and was single speed. It was for sure bike that I would like for easy XC rides.

Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it since I haven't noticed it discussed here yet, and I know y'all like seeing new 29"ers.

That's on my short list of bikes come spring!

The one thing to remember about that bike is that it comes with a non-suspension corrected fork. i.e. it's short, and putting a suspension fork on it would slack out the head angle by 1 or 2 degrees. Just something to keep in mind commitment-wise.

Actually the lower front end is what interests me about the bike.
