I love what it does and how it does it for sure. I realized, though, that if I sold it I could buy the Yeti DJ frame. It would just have to double as my burly trailbike for a while. Ultimate goal is to also own either a 575 or an AS-R 7.

John, let me think this through some more and do a bit of inventorying. Maybe between cannibalizing the DB and pulling out some other parts, I could flesh out the Blindside into a nearly-complete bike. Not to discourage you, but the large is most definitely large. My son bought it when he was a teen working at an LBS and was 6'-3" and nearly 190 lbs. - - big kid.
