sweet, let us know how she goes. I have an oppurtunity score a 2012 at a good deal. Not sure if I wanna pull the trigger, its the lower model of course, not what you got pimptastic!
I rode the new BMC at Sea Otter. The tube shapes are really interesting. The chain stays are massive. I liked the way the seat tube gets wider closer to the bottom. It was nicely specked too. Best part was chatting it up about the bike with some of the BMC race team guys as they were pre riding the race course on Thursday.

So talking about the bike was a better then riding it?

Not better but more memorable that on two separate occasions BMC team riders noticed that I was on the same bike as theirs, slowed down as they were about to pass me, and commented on the bike. They were excited about the bike and shared that excitement. The younger of the two is on the BMC development team and finished 7th in his CAT 1 age group.
Did a google search, that appears to be in the Gods country around Monterey??? Amazing country. We go once in a while (from Miami) to watch the MotoGP races and love that area...sucks getting passed, but at least you got props for your ride.
I'm a novice, well, intermediate, just started but considering age and experience I do well, but def a rookie. However, I know there are guys whopping me on their 29ers, I found the HT but I'm nervous to go to HT from FS....here's what I found, what do you think??? BMC TEAM ELITE TE29 SRAM XO EASTON CARBON POST AND EA 70 WHEELS 29ER SIZE SMALL | eBay
2010 model which is very comprabile just maybe a few things here and there. Hate to try the switch and not like the bike, but seems like EVERYONE loves ther 29ers! Concerned on the HT though. I am not racing (yet), but still like to have nice toy that makes me happy!

Hardtail 29er is best for the type of riding I do. XC not too technical and lots of fire roads. A hardtail is more efficient and lighter, but an aluminum one may beat you up a bit. That's why I like carbon. For around $3K you can get a brand new carbon Scott Scale 29er. The components won't be XO but still very good.
sweet. If I had to guess, I'll likely be buying the scott's fs. I'm 45 this year and want that lil extra cush for the tush! Probably a bit cheaper too. But now that I saw the cannondale at my lbs, may hold off. Thing is nasty. Lefty scalpel w cf frame. oooh so sweet 29er. Heck, I change my mind so frequent. Meanwhile, I snapped my chain 10 minutes into my ride today. Took me 45 min to get everything ready, 1 hour to get to bike park, and then that 10 minutes later. Wasn't pissed, just bummed at loss of time vs no workout.
Man, the MTB has changed my physique totally, I"M HOOKED FOREVER!
