facelessfools how tall are you?

I've seen some of your pictures and the M looks pretty small for you. Are you 100% comfortable with the sizing? How happy are you with the Ace as a race bike?
im right under 5' 11''. As for the fit, its perfect! i have excellent control of the bike while standing, plenty of room for my legs while standing as well. while sitting i prefer a setback post but i always have. with the 110mm stem i could shorten it if i wanted because i have no clearance issues but i like the lower stance while climbing.
i love the ace! i have had some tough races last season and the bike was not slowing me down at all.
my last race was in fontana CA, and they ran the course in reverse so it was a lot of steep singletrack climbs and the ace has very efficient and handled the descents well. the suspension is very bob resistant but shines when it needs to.
i've run a 130mm fork in front but now i have a 100mm and i prefer how low the 100mm gets me.

Thanks guys!
Yeah, you're probably right highdell. Although it's actually plenty visible from the driver's point of view, it would stay a tad cleaner higher up. I've also considered trying it midway up the left seatstay, but haven't gotten around to it (tho it'd surely get a good coating of trail dust there).

[edit] Oh yeah, considered the seat bag too, but it seems kinda floppy there.

Here is a better picture of my Phantom in its all-mountain form, which is really just a dropper post and stronger rims. In XC form, I run a Thompson Elite post and Stans rims with thin tires and Marta SL disks. I just got back from 3 days of flogging my bike in Lake Tahoe and it was great! I think it is a little under 20 lbs.
