Got my Romic coil from FoShizzle last week and have ridden the X5 twice since then. I feel significantly less pedal feedback with the coil than I did with the Float. The additional weight of the Romic over the Fox feels negligible, due to the better pedaling characteristics. Wow, is the X-5 a nice riding bike! On the first ride with the Romic, I took it down one of the few somewhat technical trails here in Boise, and it made it feel like a groomed fire road. I have to say I'm initially impressed. Just waiting to see how long the Romic lasts!
The only downside? With the plushness of the Romic on the rear, the TALAS up front feels pretty stiff. So....is anybody out there interesting in purchasing a lightly used 2004 TALAS RLC? It's freshly rebuilt from the Fox factory, with brand new uppers, a new crown, new steerer (uncut), new bushings, new wipers, and fresh oil. PM or email me.
