Its the sweetest bike i've ever riden, its got a really nice balance point. It's a 2002 model but i bought it brand new in august last year, the only problem i've had with cables was tonite wen i realised i had a hole in my rear brake hose (nice nite for it to happen, you yangs tomorrow :x , guess i'll havta race with my front brake only unless theres gonna be mechanics there??) and thats from the rubber stopper on the forks constantly hitting the hose.. but only tonite did i realise how to alleviate the problem!! i hadta buy a heavier spring for the rear shock coz the stock standard spring was only a 400 pound, which doesn't really cooperate with a fox in a single pivot setup.
