I dig my 575. You will be happy.

Sweeeeeet ride crink. If I had the coin, i think that's what id want.

[CS]

Hell

Yeah



Oh, and you probably shouldn't have posted that. It'll get Particle all envious and convince him (again) that he really does want to sell his Foes and get a 575.

Also, it's looking good that I'll be down in Moab. I won't have a shiny new bike, but it still could be fun.

I am friggin so giddy right now. I'll give a shout out to Sean and Nick at the Sports Garage in Boulder, they were awesome. They have the frame on the wall and were going to pick up the kit and put it togther ASAP. Their eyes lit up when i told them I was going to Moab and I would be eternally grateful (and the envy of all my friends) if I could get it by friday morning. Which they assured me, it would be done.

Also got last years price on this years bike, typo on thier part, but they honored the price.

[SKISC]

Thats a sweet ride dude. I just got a new Giant reign 1. Got some upgrades to do to lighten it up some but so far I like it.

nice the reign was on the short list, but went with my desire, yeti.

marshal, will do, i can ride more than i can ski, since its usually closer.

[truth]

[Z]

[bagtagley]

Nice score, dude. Looks damn good.

[lph]

sweet ride, dude!

I really have to ride one this year in Moab and see what all the fuss is about.

[Tap]

likin' the yeti saddle

[GT40]

Now there's a bike worthy of the rider.

I'm envious!!!

What kind of weight are we talking on the bike?

Have you had a chance to really ride it yet?

[bigsugar]

Nice, I remember you luisting after the 575 when I met you last summer.

You'll be a juggernaut with that bike.

after smashing every rock in Moab over the weekend, i can convincingly say "THIS BIKE ROCKS"

Very easy to point it through technical sections that only a 100 mm of travel in my old bike was a gamble and very rough ride. Now its almost like cheating. 2-3' drops no problem. Little more effort to flick it around vs my old bike, but a few lbs will do that. I think I need to be in better shape as well. Pro-pedal isn't perfect, but i am still dialing in the rear shock. I added a few psi, which helped on saturday's decent on porcupine vs amasa back on friday, which was a little too soft.

I need a few rides on my familiar local trails as a good comparison, but I have absolutely no regrets. This bike is a champ, definitely what i needed to step up my game. Being a heavier rider (185 lbs) it is beefy enough to be my "do-it-all" bike.

a full TR to follow in a day or so. Shot a ton of pics

Thanks for the report Crinkle. I am bidding on a 575 on ebay. If you are a heavier rider at 185 what does it make me at 225? Please don't say Clydesdale.

[flowtron]

Nice. I'm ordering that same bike within a few months. I need a trail bike bad, and that thing fits the bill. The hard part will be not ordering the Eduro Pro kit w/ Fox 36 and DHX.
Cheers, our 575s should rally at some point this summer, I'm all fired up on Coloraaaado riding. Gotta take that thing on Sovereign next time you go down to Moab....start on the south end and do an out and back...mmmmmm.
