Nice ride man, enjoy! I noticed Specialized copied the MSR link to the newer FSR's now so they have improved and they sure look nice.

I plan om riding on dirt mostly, nothing hard at all. It cost me $899 + tax. I got the large frame. Coming from "Wal-mart" brand bikes, this thing is amazing. So far I have NO complaints. Thanks for all the replys.

Thats cool Raiyn. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. Thats a nice setup. What would you suggest I do with stronger parts seeing that we are close to the same size? I just got my back shock (Fox Float R) filled to 275 psi to help with the bottoming out. They said pound for pound on the back shock.

LOL, thanks Shadow; hopefully not. I dont feel it's an overkill. I wanted a nice bike that I could ride a little harder if I wanted.
