cyclops: Your bars "appear" tilted a bit forward. Your backsweep looks like upsweep. It may be where you like 'em though...just an observation.

That is on Forest Service road 179, Jefferson National Forest. I usually park where 180 hits the asphalt, then ride that up to 179 which runs along the ridge. Then back down, either on 181 to Fenwick Mines, or on 180 to Barbours Creek. Mostly in Craig County VA. It is one of the rare rides which has a few clearings with a view, trees are everywhere here.

Just found this guy through CL this week. '06 Stumpjumper Pro, warranty frame, everything else installed since then besides the original '01 bars and stem. The stem is a little long for me, but everything else is heavenly. 1x9 Sram x9. Someday I may upgrade to disc brakes, but the Avid SD-7's are silky smooth.
I just started mountain biking in August, and raced this season with my University on an '08 Hardrock that was a size too small. Looking forward to the great times ahead with my new rig!
sorry for the poor lighting, just snapped the pic a second ago

That photo is about 24 riding miles from my house, the first 16 miles on asphalt (which I usually drive). Since we are in the middle of National Forest (actually surrounded by Jefferson, George Washington, and Monongahela), there are seemingly endless miles of these roads. Some are nicely maintained, some are barely jeep tracks. It is one of the reasons I still live here .

Can you take a closeup of the stem? That looks like hella stack with the Girvin and a pretty freakin' long stem. (given the vintage...it fits well)
That's going to be one peacefully quiet HT.

Bikes: are fun to ride
I've only ridden it on tame gravel paths, no singletrack. Even with the long-ish stem it responds immediately to steering inputs. The fork spring is a bit soft for my weight, may need to adjust pre-load or swap out for a different spring weight.
The fork set up requires a certain distance between the fork race and upper clamp thus requiring the tall stack height. On top of that the frame head tube is pretty short. Even with the stack height of the stem I still put a couple spacers to achieve the required spacing.
Yes, it's pretty quiet on rough trails. Chain slap is non-existent.
Correct, I had this particular stem on another bike with alt-bars that had a significant amount of back sweep. The stem is a 120mm and even then I probably could go with a 135mm stem to make the ETT on the bike the normal measurement I use.
