Vinnydabutcher Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 If you have time wait a little while. Got a feeling that a very well respected brand is working on a full sus 29 XC machine.

xak1 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Tallboy just got award from Mountain Biker this week - best bike overall: THE BEST OF THE BEST: THE SANTA CRUZ TALLBOY CARBON After four days of testing bikes, we asked ourselves a simple question: If we could ride only one model for the next year, which would it be? With so many contenders to choose from, it could have sparked fierce debate among the test staff, but we agreed unanimously: The Santa Cruz Tallboy stole the show. While each of the winners excelled within its category, the Tallboy's versatility set it apart. Whether we were grinding up a climb or ripping down a sketchy descent, the 29er was a blast to ride; it seemed at home in every situation. Its stiff frame, brilliant suspension platform, swooping lines, and spot-on parts package also earned high praise. But the biggest complement came from a notoriously fickle tester. "The Tallboy was a revelation," he said. "It's the only full-suspension, geared 29er I've ridden that didn't remind me I was riding on a bike built around larger wheels every second." It became clear that the Tallboy possessed that rare and transcendent alchemy of materials, craftsmanship, and performance shared only by elite bikes. There's no debating it: The Tallboy is our favorite bike of 2011. http://www.bicycling.com/mountainbikecom/bikes-gear/2011-best-mountain-bikes?page=0,9
krl747 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I have a GT Sensor 9er Pro, if you can look past the colour (Bright, glow in the dark, only bike that can be seen out of space, green!!!!!!) then that is a very good option. Upgraded all my parts to Sram X9 for very little. Still think it is the cheapest dual sus 29er besides the Fuji Outland 1.0 (Can't find stock of the Silverback Moda, that would be the cheapest)

I really look forward to riding with you again.
