First 29er I've ridden and I'm happy with it. If you can find this bike for less than $800, I'd jump at it. It's been a good, solid addition to my garage.
Pros Great Frame, picked up for > $750 at REI. The platform can easily be upgraded to better components.
Cons Fork is entry level and I've gone through at least 3 tubes on the rear tire. Pedals needed to be replaced after first 50 miles.
Overall this has been a great bike. The wheelset has been the downfall for me. I replaced them when the LBS told me that the rear rim was bent too badly to stay true. After wheelset replacement, this has been a fabulous ride!
Pros Great Geometry. Cheap but yet reliable components. Great bike for the money.
Cons Wheelset is weak. The fork could use an improvement also.

Super bike
Pros
By far best bike 1k could buy. It's lite-durable- and the components are top of the line. I say this because I own it.
Cons
| ThankSeat is a little rough on long rides.
