Nope, not yet. Not my style of bike, but I'm sure eventually I'll throw a leg over one. I'm constantly striking up conversations with other riders at the parking areas.

Its a lot of bike for the money... I haven't really seen much of the '05s yet but the XC's last year were a bit porky. I think we got a Pro last year and it was about 32lbs. I wouldn't rule out a Stumpjumper if you are going to be spending the big bucks.

I just got the 05 Epic Comp with the Avid Juicy brakes - I know not what your asking about - but it is a hell of a ride. The bike is more FS than HT this year, but pedals great. i almost can't distinguish the switch.
