Strengths: Purchase the frame only- my dream hardtail! Beautiful titanium frame made by Lynskey that rides great as well. Went from an alluminum hardtail to this. Feels great on the trail and definitely seems to absorb more (hands and lower back are happier). Extremely well made and has handled my tumbles with grace. Looking forward to riding this bike for many, many years.Weaknesses: No alternators! But maybe I'm being greedy.Bottom Line: Good stuff but not cheap, but cheap for ti. Long term bicycle investment of awesomeness.

Strengths: Fantastic geometry. Joy to ride. Stable, light, fast and made in USA. No paint. Very high quality construction. Cool red pepper on seat and fancy metal pepper on headtube. Beautiful. Great tires for hard pack. Wonderful brakes once broken in properly (important!). Very positive shifting. Great fork. 2x10 is fantastic. 26.3 lbs with pd520 pedalsWeaknesses: Expensive. Front brake requires break-in procedure that, if not followed, will require pads to be serviced and broken in properly. Once done, you will love them. You may have to wait for one as many stores do not stock them.Bottom Line: I would buy again. Fun to ride! Don't buy if you don't love long, fast fun rides; or, if all you care about is having the lightest most fragile bike.

Strengths: Extremely well balanced bike - shortish chainstays combine with 71 degree head angle to make this bike a superb climber. Super stiff front end combined with a Reba thru axle fork makes it track really well through hard fast chundery corners. Very flickable for a 29er. Build specs are outstanding for the price. Especially notable are the Stan's Arch rims which go tubeless very easily.Weaknesses: Only fits up to 2.3 tires. I know, this is supposed to be a cross country bike, but it handles well in big techy stuff and it'd be nice to have the option to put 2.5s on there for the gnarly trails of the world.Bottom Line: Kick ass Ti ride with killer build and perfect geometry for the price. It'd get a five with room for 2.5s. Buy it if you like to rip fast singletrack and do big climbs.

Strengths: This feels very light and solid at the same time. The Ti frame soaks up a lot of trail chatter which allows me to feel comfortable in the saddle on long rides.Weaknesses: The only weekness, if any, are the stock elixir brakes on the 2011 complete build. The front one squeals like a goose and the rear one vibrates.Bottom Line: I would purchase again in a heartbeat. The only things I have thought about upgrading are the brakes and I may get a more aggressive (knobby) front tire.
