Finnish bike messenger movie up on Bittorent. Search for Cyclomania on Demonoid, etc. It's subtitled and I take no responsibility whatsoever for how cheesy/hilarious it might be.

Rumour: Keith was offered a salary position at Remmigntons. Confirm/deny?

Side note: Wait for the Fox 29er for or go with the readily available (and cheaper) Reba?

Chippendales dude...cmon give me some credit. Like I would peel at a second rate joint like Remmingtons...Jeez!
One good thing about the Reba...it is solid and proven. Fox seem to have a ton of warranty issues.
and i wonder about a first gen fork from them. What does Wes think I wonder?

Indeed.. I like the bar-mounted lockout on the Reba too.

True, and I still have the overall budget to consider.

Looks like I'm working with a Niner Air 9, Reba and as much of an XT drivetrain as I can afford (might have to start off magic-gearing it singlespeed). I think I'm going to be playing every pro deal/supplier sales card I can think of for this bike!

I wouldn't mind that bike in my garage... stripped down... in some form of stand... being repainted to some non-ugly/corporate logo paint job

Mmmm.. Rib-eye steak from Cumbrae's, and root veggie chunky fries (potato, yam & parsnip) with a cilantro-mayo dip. Tasticles!

And now I'm enjoying a glass of scotch.. classy! Of course, I'm about to be drinking it while playing video games, I'm not sure how that affects the classiness.

I also just dropped a wad of cash on new bike pr0n bits and pieces. Oh boy!

Nope, different bike. The IRO is still lacking a wheelset and a few odds 'n ends. I'm in no big hurry to build it up. Oh, and it's the aqua blue colour.
