Hi Sean,
Congratulations!!! Sounds like you are enjoying your bike.
I have recently purchased an XLT frame, but I will not be able to ride it untill the next season. Its my winter project.
Although, I set the frame up with some borrowed parts and rode it for a few times. it rides really well. I was really amazed by the riding quality of the bike and the quality of worksmanship. chelboed helped me with some important info as well.
happy riding......
