I got to ride a friends, which was a '00, and the bike felt great. Very plush yet it actually pedalled very well. The nice thing about the design is that you don't get any brake jack. I plan on upgradign the Fox shock to either a Romic or an Avalanche so that will also make a big difference.

The head angle is steeper than on most DH bikes but it felt great and steered very quickly which works well for the type of riding in Nor Cal. The trails in Tahoe tend to be very technical with lots of tight turns.

As soon as I have her built up I will give a full detailed description on how she rides. I can't wait to finish building her up.
