Any one have experience with Wilier Mountain Bikes?

Hey y'all,

I'm a roadie who is thinking about getting into the mountain biking world. I like riding single track and cross country type courses... not so much into the downhill thing.

I'm considering purchasing a Wilier 703 (http://www.wilier.it/it/catalogo/mtb-bike/703-xt/) or a 503 (http://www.wilier.it/it/catalogo/mtb-bike/503-xt/). I like the idea of the 29er, so I"m kinda leaning toward the 503. anyone have any comments on either of these?

Just picked up my new Wilier 503 XT 29er yesterday. The ride is very nice and the bike is not as heavy as I was expecting it to be. Can't wait to get out on the trails!
