I picked one up a few month ago. I absolutely love it.
Fox vanilla RC rear shock
130 mm Marzocchi z1 fork
Mavic wheels
panaracer tires
race face crank set
ritchey seat tube
deore xt
cane creek head set
and so on, every thing on this bike is name brand.
I had it set up with 5" rear travel, and gave really nice pedaling feel. Pretty smooth on rough trails and small drops.
I swapped to 6" rear travel and had to up the spring to 750 lbs, and it really rocks now. I take drops and jumps like nothing. Don't really feel the landing even at a 5 foot drop landing on flat ground. I have only bottomed the fork once, and that was landing both wheels at the same time on a 5 foot drop with a very small gap.
I have nothing bad to say about this bike. The bike is a medium and is a little larger than most meduims. I am 5'8" with like a 33 inseam, and have little to no stand over clearance, But i guess if you set the suspension properly (25% droop) it fits me just right.
They are definately worth looking into.
