Oh, I guess one more thing.... I just checked my e-mail and my LBS said that he can get a 2007 F2 for $1100 which is $100 cheaper than the F3,. He said that the F2 will have an even better headshock and better brakes. I didn;t know if this was an awesome deal or just another option that I didn't need to have thrown at me! Thanks for any last opinions on this! -- Tim
