I don't care what side of the 26 vs 29er debate you fall on - this thing looks like it could be a rocket.

Gotta love that burnt orange paint job. That easily adds another 3-4mph to the top speed.

I'm not a big fan of the single pivot, superlight, I do like the Tallboy; which makes me GAY, how silly can u be!

Dude! Really? Why you gotta be so mean :crying: ?
First, I almost knock myself out trying to get my seatpost out of my frame, putting a gash in my head, doing something stupid...and in the process pulled down a truss from the roof (guess where the head gash came from?)
Seatpost 2, Mike 0... :cry:
Then you call me gay.
Gosh your so mean.

That Highball (I know it sounds gay) looks killer too. But as much as I like a light and fast hardtail, my aging back doesn't anymore.

Also there's no need to sweat the single pivot design on a XC bike like this. Santa Cruz has really perfected it. It's light, simple and easy to maintain, so it's a good trade off. It also keeps the price reasonable.

So what your saying is you won't be leaving us anytime soon for this site? they have some great forums.

http://www.differentspokes.com/

It's been my experience that the more you talk about gay people and things, the more it just means you have deep seeded gay repression. So Come on dude, don't be afraid to come out. Everyone will still love you for your right wing rants and TW videos. :wink:

black is hip, stealth, chic, and makes you look thinner. was also proven in wind tunnels to be aerodynamically faster.

...may have to do with the thinning effect.
