    Strengths:    SWEET!!, awsome design, not gimmicky like the big MFG's.
    This is the perfect do everything bike!, It goes down well, handles like a porsche, and climbs great. I like the quick relase adjustable travel. And its nice having a full easton 7005 frame. nice machine work.


    Weaknesses:    Hmmmm.. not much;
    Its not exaclty a lightweight frame, but then thats not what you want on these kind of bikes.
    You have to use and XTR E-type front der, but i guess if you can only choose one level of a component, might as well be the best level.


    Bottom Line:   
    Well looks like im the first owner to post a review,
    This is the perfect bike for me. What more can you ask for?(maybe get for it free;) Personaly I like a bike with a good amount of travel, that I can go up,down, and all around with.
    The guys at Fly were super cool, talked with me for quite a while about the bike, and how I wanted it set up etc. They even gave me the XTR front der at cost, and painted the fork to match the frame. and put my name on the frame
    Also I think this bike accelerates faster than a hard tail, it doesn't bob at all when you sprint. I even beat this expert XC racer, when he started talking BS about how FS bikes were slow, so we race down a street, and he lost, bet i would have beat him a lot worse if it were in the dirt with some bumps/terrain.

    Roll on!
