Bought it today. Love this bike! First mountain bike for me. Going to start doing some trail riding with some experienced riders from work.

hey that's MY bike!!:)
Got mine this Christmas and I love it. You don't know what fun is until you've been in so much mud that your derailleur refuses to budge.
I wasn't too crazy with the meager color choices (I have the red on black) but color isn't all that important. My old 930 had a really beautiful powdercoat fade from violet to green...kinda nice.
I do notice that the topcoat isn't holding up all that well, although I do a lot of gravel miles and that will really work on a finish.

ENJOY!!
