So far stock 04 Stumpjumper with the sweet Fox fork.
Bottom Line:
I sometimes like to go on day hikes as well as the many mountain biking trips here in Colorado. The pack is exceptional because it holds 100oz, has lots of storage, has a nice padded belt and can be used for all outdoor activities! The water delivery setup is not as effecive as Camelback's but for $50.00 whose complaining.
