A friend of mine went on vaction for a week, and gave me his bike for the week to keep at my house. So I rode it for a day or 2, I didn't really like it. Same with the Manitou Dorado, I just can't get why people like em that much. But its all about personal prefernce.

Did you set it for your weight? Why didn't you like it?
I didn't mess around with setting it up right, because it was set to his settings. But he did weight about the same that I did. (150 pounds) He likes it, but I don't. It seemed to stiff for me.

Very nice! I have never been lucky enough to get the chance to ride one but I have talked to quite a few people that have. All of them agreed that it was one of the nicest bikes they have ridden.
