Very Nice Bike, Handles very well. I was very apprehensive about flex in the Lefty, seeing as I'm 225 lbs. The owner of the LBS assured me I wouldn't have a problem and if I did he take it back. It was a better handling and stiffer fork than anything else I've ridden. Needless to say I kept the bike!
The first weekend I had the bike I took a mtn. biking vacation and spent 3 days riding. I was blowing all my friends away on this bike. I had just sold my Full suspension Specialized FSR and I rode stuff on my C'Dale that I wouldn't with my Full Suspension!
Why did I get a hardtail? I was going to start racing again. I only raced two times last season! Too much to do, too little time. I didn't train like I wanted to and it's no fun racing to come in last!
Why am I selling mine? I'm planning a trip out west and I think I'd rather have a full suspension again!
If you need a size Large, I'll make you a killer deal!
