Hey guys, I'm looking at getting this bike, and since it will be my first 'serious' MTB I am looking for other people's opinions of it.
I am looking to mainly use it for commuting, but with a crapload of Urban Assault and Cross Country riding in between. I would like to go the DH/Freeride way but rear shox bump the price up quite a bit.
Anyway, just give me your honest, no-sh*t assesment, and even some reccomendations if you think my choice is ****.
(Oh, Giant Rainier/GT Ruckus2.0/Kona Stuff are the others that I'm looking at.)
Thanks in advance.
P.S: 6'3, 180 or so pounds (I think). So 19"+ frame.
