I bought one about a month ago and really like it. The components are fantastic for the price..... it has a cheap clear coat that allows you to peel the cheap looking motobecane decals right off.... the only thing cheap about the bike are the decals....... you can't go wrong with it if you are looking for a fast mountain bike. It is almost like a cyclocross / mountain bike hybrid..... it's built for speed. The full XTR components, Carbon Crank, and the other components are worth $1600 by themself..... the frame is solid and light.

What do you you guys think of their bikes, specifiacally the FLY team?,

here are some links about the bike,

the other bike I am interested in right now would be a cheaper stumpjumper, so that would probably be its competition
