I have an '05 that I love. Singlespeed 29ing is a ton of fun. I personally think the '09 Fishers got ambushed and beat to death with the ugly stick- some of the worst graphics I have ever laid eyes on- but other than that, the Rig has always been a very nicely appointed SS 29er.
To be fair, mine is "G1" rather than "G2" geometry, but if the price is right and you can stomach the graphics it's a great bike.
