JRD - Nice ride, I bought a blue one a couple months ago! I've been loving it, had MTB's all my life before this, and... wow. My average speed has skyrocketed.

Curious, did you get the blue or the black 7.3FX? I have a blue one and.. it's just too "pretty". Almost wish I would have gotten the black so I'd beat up on it a little more .

Enjoy the bike, two things I will warn about are the wheels and the saddle. The wheels don't like having loose spokes, and the saddle.. well.. it's a hatchet. I'm in the market for a new one right now.

Other than that.. it's a rocket .
