Strong, responsive, GREAT components for price, great looks, great geometry, light weight, can't say enough.
Only weakness is they are not easy to come by which is not a weakness for anyone besides those looking to by one. If you see one BUY IT! The frame ALONE is worth $400.00 or more in todays market.
Fast, responsive, great features. Strong, light. If you can find one for $600.00 or less snag it! It's "old school" sort of, but built better than many of the 2009 and 2010's that are out there today.

Light frame. Great looks. Good geometry. Very fast and great on single track. Simple clean lines.
Rear disc mount is old hayes type.
Use this bike both to commute and single track with the Pace RC31 carbon rigid forks. Very light build and looks the dogs.
Very fast on the road now, and XC as well. Had to re-learn how to ride off road again as the rigid forks are not forgiving of my deficiencies. Loads more fun riding technical single track on rigid. Is improving my skill level no end.
Just love this bike and the colour, cheap purchase for frame only from ebay.
If genesis geometry is for you, this is a cracking frame / bike.

Light weight, genesis geometry, overall look, shimano components.
The seat is very stiff and uncomfortable.
I think this is a very good bike. The main reason I chose it over the Trek 8000 is the geometry and the color scheme. The bike shifts very well in tough situations. I have bottomed out a few times on very rough trails, but little or no damage to the bike. The adjustable fork works well, but I am still trying to find the right setting for what fits my riding style. Overall, a good, lightweight bike, which is the reason I chose it over a full suspension.

It rides really good and gets the job done. That's all I need.
None so far. However, I recommend switching out the regular seatpost for a suspension seat post. It adds very little weight and makes the ride so much more comfortable and therefore you ride better.
Great bike for the money. I had two full suspensions before moving to this hard tail and I really like it so far. It's taken some adjustment but I think I like the hardtail better than the full suspension for the type of riding I do.
The "genesis geometry" is why I bought the Gary Fisher over the Specialized and Jamis. After multiple test rides on all three bike the Gary Fisher just felt better than the others and the "genesis geometry" concept makes sense.
I ride about twice a week and ride some pretty technical stuff and this bike handles it all very well. I've crashed many times and the only problem so far has been a bent derailier hanger that was quickly fixed.
It's a lightweight bike with good componenets. I also really like the feature where you can adjust the height of the front shock. This is a great idea.

Excellent hard tail for the money. Good components. Real nice ride.
Rock Shox Duke XC with U-turn has issues. The travel is supposed to be 63-108, but it is more like 70-85.
Excellent bike for an intermediate rider.
