Sounds awesome. That's on my short list if I ever go boing-boing.

Just thought I would share with a photo of my new baby. As if anyone cares... I still can hardly
contain myself. Thanks for letting me share 🙂

Very nice, not sure about the rear shock though - any chance the LBS would swap it for a fox ?

Well, it seems to be a nice Cane Creek unit, they're just as good as Fox.

It's a Cane Creek AD12, It is adjustable nine ways to Sunday, I think I should at least ride it
before counting it out.

Geeze, I layed out nearly 4 grand for an Isis that was basically the same as that except that mine
has Hope disc brakes.
Congratulations on the great deal.

I thought I did good, it is a 02 model that had been sitting on the showroom loor for about a year.
I had been 'lovin up on it' for the better part of two months. It wasn't until somebody offered to
buy my Santa Cruz Chameleon that I would have the finances to get it done. But my LBS wanted it
gone, and they were ready to deal. I looked up the parts on the web, I am not sure, but they could
have taken a beating on it to get it out the door. Either way, I put about 10 miles on it today, and
am extremely pleased. I also like the Psylo XC, I thought about switching my Z1 Bomber over, but I
was pretty sick of the 20mm axle not fitting into any holders, plus I liked the U-turn adjustability
of the RS. Overall I am very pleased. Hey since I sold my Santa Cruz with the Bomber on it. does
that mean I have to give somebody a handjob?
