XTC 2003 hardtail

I have a 02', but haven't had a chance to ride it. the one thing to be careful of is the thinner
tubes, apparently they dent easier than comparable frames.

Anyone got some input on the 2003 XTC hardtail frame? LBS recommends it, and I am probably going
to order one this week. Great price at $350 including headset... great weight at under 3.5lb
including headset. Anybody got any cons to this? I am getting off my I-drive FS bike and

going

I have an 02 XtC as well, and the tubes do dent easily... Don't use tow bar mounted bike carriers,
the kind you clamp your top tube in. I have a few crush marks on my top tube as a result.... Hasn't
affected it so far.

But on the upside it is a pretty light frame, and reasonably strong for 'normal' use....

I am still a fan.

Got mine for a steal, about 200 US plus Headset and seat post....
