I love mine, tough as coffin nails. Geo is good, a little slaker than most hardtails, but I like that. I am not the smoothest rider out there, and I frign abuse mine. Just put a pike on it and even hit rock gardens. The only downside is the weight, probably 1/2 lb hevier than a TOP. For the $ well worth it.:thumbsup:
I LOVE mine, it always puts a smile on my face. The Pike with adjustable travel makes it one of the most versatile hardtails; long trail rides, DJs, a little FR action. and you cant beat the price.
I'm probably gonna pick the frame up then - It's actually about $150, which is still fine. Green. I'll be building it real similar to yours-I have the white Outlaws, probly go single speed, I got a domain not a pike, but it runs down to 115mm to that should work.
They are sick bikes that can take it all. I had mine built up many ways. 26" 24", ridgid, front der, rear der, SS.
Sucks though, I only got 52$ for it. I guess Its only 100$ new so I shouldent complain. I picked up a 2007 P2 frame in alum. and wow I just shaved 3-4 lbs of my DJ/ pumptrack bike. Wow.
Ya, though I wouldnt necassarily recommend them unless you get the taller pins and upgraded bearings. Those are pretty beat up and the spindles are shot.

I will sell you mine for 100 plus shipping and include a rear surly flip flop hub laced to rhyno lite rim and the v brakes. frame in great condition, maybe 5-10 rides.
One of my friends here in Nashville has a Steelhead bike for sale. He priced it for a complete bike ($375), but due to my interest in the fork and cranks, he may part it out. Let me see how much he wants for the frame, if you're still looking for one.

My friend's failed in my driveway. Chain dropped off of the inside of the cassette by accident, no jumps/tricks or anything. He didn't reef on it at all, just half a turn of the cranks while sitting down and SNAP, XT derailleur shattered, derailleur hanger folded almost 90 degrees, and the dropout itself folded like a tissue. The LBS managed to bend it back enough that you can cram a wheel in there but the alignment is still a little off, and the metal is certainly weakened. Azonic never responded to emails or calls about warranty.
Aside from that issue, it was a nice, sturdy bike.
