Hey Jimmi i changed the seat post and put on a FSA stem, xtr cog set, made it tube less and the cranks are stock s works 170mm - 26x42 spec rings and spyder. Cranks come with bb and all parts needed.
Jimmi, by the way- i was just in Cali riding the road bike around Orinda for a week, you have some steep ass hills out there

Ok, this bike rules the earth. Climbs like a hard tail and descends like a couch.It's going to take a little to dial in the shocks, especially the fork. The gearing of the 2x9 [26-42] feels really good on the first ride
Coming out of switch back corners feels more snappy than my superfly. I think the 29er feels more stable than the 26er, especially a hard tail. But i think unless you are climbing something really steep, the perception of the difference between 29er and 26er is just that - perception more than reality.
The fit of the small epic is spot on for me and i really like to get out of the saddle a lot when i climb so a stiff front and rear feel awesome. And when you break thru the thresholdT it is uber plush. The handling is very neutral and feels balanced .
It's only been one ride but i love it :thumbsup:
