Nice dude, I've been looking at those (Transition on BS has for one for sale).

Would a Bottlerocket fit the bill for Beverly type riding, and the occasional Highland run? My #1 choice right now is a Reign X.

Good deal on the fork too, I forgot those things retail for $900.

looks really sweet what size is she?? Almost looks like a small...But maybe it's just that more freeride look than a XC. Looks really sweet and I bet it would jump pretty well

I see your favorite trails are in arcadia??? Why did you move???? lol I would like to live up north for a few reasons, biking being one

It's a medium. It is more onthe freeride side than XC. I hope to buy an Epic this winter to fit that bill. It rides awesome.
My favorite trails are Arcadia Mgmnt Area here in RI. I never moved..still here in RI. A few folks here were nice enough to hook me up w a ride when I was on vaca in SD. (THANKS AGAIN) New England is a great place to ride. Everything from llift access DH to XC to awesome super-tech XC to Freeride all within two hours. Swing by if wanna ride sometime! :wink:
