Bottom Line:
I bought the Alu-Pro for $850. I couldn't get the Manitou Shocks to budge so upgraded to springs. Worth every penny. I love this bike, it climbs easily and is a riot downhill. I'm a small person and this is the first mountain bike I've owned that truly fits me. Too bad REI stopped making them.

Bottom Line:
This bike is awesome! At just $1300 retail, it has pretty much all XT components, and it comes with a Manitou Mach 5 sx fork. Becasue of it's frame is Easton Aluminum, the whole bike weighs a mere 24lbs. I'd have to say it's a damn good deal, and on top of that it rides like a dream. The only thing I don't really like is that it doesn't handle increadibly in singletrack, but at such an insane price, I can deal. If you want an killer deal, check this bike out!
