Pros:	I love my bike. I could not find anything else like it in several months of searching. I paid 1200, not bad for shimano LX components and avid disc with 9 speed.
Cons:	I fried the bottom bracket in two rides. I am 6 foot 4 and weigh a bit over 200 pounds, so when I mash I break stuff. Replaced it all with Race Face LP and three bearing bottom bracket. The top bearing pivots that connect to the linkage on the shock died a nasty death. Took a month to replace them.
Time Used:	1 Year
Comments:	It is fun to ride. I can hit stuff hard without worry of damaging the frame or anything else, plus it climbs pretty good. It does bob about an half inch, but no complaints by me. I have a way big with pump and bar ends and h2o cage witch makes it weigh in at 31 pounds. Not to bad.
Rating:
Recommendation:	Yes I would recommend it to a friend
