Picked her up last Friday. First impressions are astounding. Very nimble on twisty singletrack. Its my first time on wide 700mm+ bars and cant believe it taken me this long to switch. Combined with the obvious bigger wheel advantage this bike is just a blast to ride. If you get a chance to test one, do not turn it down, you wont be sorry.
