Avanti Ridgeline Carbon 2 - thoughts?

Howdy,

Wondering if anyone here has taken one for a test ride?

I'm only allowed to ride one around the carpark out front of the shop.

Looking at the frame, the tubes are huge, compared to a Spark 910 I rode recently.
(similar group spec; XT).

I like the look of the bike, but it is a bit heavier than the Spark.
A couple of cables sticking out under the crank on the Ridgeline, which I'm not sure about (getting hit by rocks/sticks etc.)

Thoughts?
