Strengths: Titanium durability, Great looks, smooth handling even compared to my carbon 29ersWeaknesses: Weight - its heavy. I have a medium size frame and find that the chain ring clearance is very poor - about 2 -3mm between the large (40t) chain ring and the chain stay. The clearance between the rear tire and the front dérailleur is also a small issue. I am using an XTR M980 top pull front dérailleur. I had to cut off the a piece on the dérailleur which will be used for a button pull frame to allow more clearance. This seems to be a common problem on some other 29ers as well (Karate Monkey is an example)Bottom Line: Great bike, all in all. With a small DIY the tire issue is not a major problem. Bike handles well, climbs well. But its a lot of money for a frame which has some design flaws.
