That right there is one good-lookin' bike, wheel-size be-damned.

Countdown until people start complaining about the head-angle:

10, 9, 8, 7,................

Sweet! That bike is looking mighty tempting!

The head angle, though...looks to be just right for a 29er.You can't really compare head angles between bikes with different wheel sizes.

Anybody want to venture a guess on the size of this puppy. Looks sweet!

Size pictured above is Medium, 23.75" ETT.

Nice! That's a good looking bike. My 6.6 is the best all arounder backcountry bike I've owned, but this might just be enough to tempt me.

Just curious..........what front derailleur is the frame designed around? Looks like this has the potential to be a 29er dh rig with some stiffer wheels mounted to it(Industry 9). Looking good!!!! Any update on the Slopestyle 6.6?

Paul, that bike is simply amazing. How soon can we get our hands on one? Please don't make us wait until next year!

What does that 5.5 29er weigh?
28 lbs?
I think the Spider 29ers I've seen are also around 27-28ish.

From the matching thread on the 29er forum:

28 lbs complete as it sits
