Just wondering if anyone wanted to post pictures and specs of their Fuji? I need to get some pictures taken of mine once I get my new brakes installed, but wanted to see what others are riding.
Some photos of my Fuji Outland 29RC...
Pretty stock form still - went w/ a set of Flow 29er rims / King pewter hubs. Threw some Hope floating rotors on - waiting for a silver pair to swap out for the blue.
Got my Shimano M575 brakes installed. This is my 05 Outland Pro pretty much stock, replaced the suntour fork with a Rock Shox Reba SL, Tektro Mech brakes with Shimano M575 Hydros. Next to work on is going 1x9 and replacing the rear derailer with at least a Shimano SLX shadow.

Sweet bike - digging the brakeset; very nice. I think I'll keep mine set up as 2x9 - I need those lower gears w/ the big wheels and rear suspension. I have my hardtail set up 1x9 though - also w/ a BBG bashguard(highly recommended).
Enjoy it...hopefully we'll get some more to join us here.
Thanks ncfisherman. The brakes seem to work very well, easy to set up. I have found that I rarely need to drop to the lower front ring, so a 1x9 is going to work well for me. I will look into the BBG bashguard, thanks for the recommendation.
Paid today -- bike will be at the shop tomorrow, maybe even built by the afternoon. My bars and stem should be here end of week. Too bad I have to travel for work!
x-posting a bit here! I picked up my bike (Fuji Tahoe SL 29) yesterday and went out for about 1.5 hours. It was a combination of hard pack, rooty singletrack, and fire roads, a bit of everything. The bike really feels stable. It moves with the trail smoothly and predictably, which is definitely a trait I missed on the 26er I rode on Friday. Other than a few tip overs due to user error, I had a great time! I need to take it to the shop tomorrow for some tweaks, the FD needs some adjustment and the front disc brake rubs. I'm totally glad I pulled the trigger on the bike! I do feel like the handlebars are a bit wide -- it feels like I am steering a boat. I also clipped some trees on narrower sections. I'm 6'1" with narrow shoulders, so it might be worth investigating narrower bars.
I'm really loving the bike. I have an Easton EC70 flat bar that is narrower in the garage that I'd like to try out, as well as a Toupe to put on there. I found myself wanting to slide back further on the saddle, so I think there's a lot of fit investigation for me to do. I have my roadie dialed and all the numbers recorded, but this is (obviously) a different beast. What a fun bike!
Awesome... Looks familiar... Unfortunately, mine is in for repairs since last week. Seems my shocks are leaking air. Hopefully, once the fork is replaced I will not have any more problems.
