I've got to agree that it is a tough decision. For trails that are rigid bike friendly, this should be ideal. I like the lugs also. The only thing that I would change later on is the stem. I just don't like these adjustable stems. They have their place, but my personal tastes don't include these. Once you know you like the bike and the riding position that you have dialed in with the stem, buy a fixed stem that matches the angle and the reach that you like.
Let us know if you buy it.
