I'm very happy with the bike. It makes you go FAST, it's only got 130mm of travel out back but it is amazing in action, it sucks up square edged hits, rails berms and is really stable in the air, it's got a short back end with a maxle and is very stiff; it feels very balanced with my 36 Float up front. Under power the rear end tightens up a bit and picks up speed fast, and it can climb hills very well (if you're fit; lots of grip and a great 'hardtailesque' feel). It's not a light bike, about 32-34 pounds(ish)(heavier than my brother's similarly equiped Nomad Mk1), and the paint (not powder-coat) chips easily. There has been a problem with the idler pulley system on these bikes, but Windwave sorted me out with a prototype pulley until the production pullies were available (which is about now; they're waiting on the bearings to be delivered). The proto pulley works flawlessly. It's a great bike, I'll be taking mine to the Mega next summer. There are a couple of test bikes in the UK and I'd recommend trying before you buy. I'd also try a Blood (very similar angles and sizing) for comparrison. If you were wondering, the longest fork you can use with this frame is a Totem! Hope this helps.
