Taro?
Anyone one one yet? What's the bike weigh?
On paper this looks like my next ride, just waiting for some feedback.
Thanks.

Subscribed. I'm very interested in this bike as well.
Better to have and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Me three - looks like exactly what I'm looking for - Honzo is on the list too....

Give these guys a call, I bought Kona frames from both with great success and service. All over the phone and they shipped to Chicago.

I got quoted $450 from The Path. I ordered a Satori, don't need another bike for sure, but still want a Taro for no good reason.

$1075 shipped. I'm going to sell the HT before I ride it. Figure a couple hundred more for a bike I've been lusting after for a year now is worth it.

Only 75 less than a honzo, seem like honzo is the way to go. (free shipping from bikeman)

I am looking at picking up one of these. The local shop ordered one in for me to check out, said they were pretty confident that even if I didn't like it that they would be able to sell it quickly due to the honzo's popularity.

^I would agree...this bike is a killer value

I got a chance to stare at and weigh a Medium Taro today. 31lbs including those heavy stock pedals. It wasn't really my size so my 30 second impressions don't count for much, but it seemed easier to turn than what I was used to.

"Easier to turn?" I thought you only stared at it? 
Kidding aside, that's awfully heavy for an alu framed bike. No advantage over the stock Honzo as a complete bike in terms of weight then. But then again, the specs are lower than the Honzo's. I wonder where most of the weight is coming from? The wheels maybe?
Thanks for sharing

^ nice pictures. It looks like a great bike for the price minus the brakes. I would prefer a shimano deore brakeset over the elixr 1's any day.

I agree.
And the cranks aren't extBB yet. I guess that's what you get for the price

Looks better in these pictures than on the website. doesn't it look like there would be room for a f. derailer?

Looks tits, seriously this bike would be mine if I wasn't in love with my Raijin....still want to build one up with a custom rigid fork and some big apples for city commuting duties.

Very much interested in this. Planning to sell sell my Blue Pig in spring and get this instead. Not sure if should get frameset and build it up, or by whole build and change some parts. Need to work out which would be cheaper. I'd change drivetrain straight away, shimano is crap in 9spd, in 10spd shimano works like Sram. Any idea what's the seattube diameter?

I just test rode one yesterday and although I am new to the sport I can say that I had a blast riding this bike. It felt very light while riding it and the gearing was seemingly well thought out. I was pretty impressed with the fork It soaked up bumps without really letting you know that they were there and did not have any symptoms of pogoing or to little rebound. I am putting my deposit down today. Cant wait till next paycheck so I can take it home and hit some trails.

Anyone have any experience climbing with a Honzo or Taro? The 1x9 is the only thing that scares me....
