To anyone that is still reading these comments here is a review of their past products. Let it be know this is coming from a slightly jaded perspective due to my cousin working for the company, but I have never held back on letting him know when they suck. Yes they are made in china, but at this point 97% of the market is. They have strong ties to their producers and are personally over seeing that things are being done to spec. Two years ago there was a problem with a glue and they produced a bad batch of sandals. Within a month it had been corrected and everyone that they could contact who had bought them had a new pair without any cost. They have been watching the mountain biking market as a possible area to enter for a couple of years and have been testing out shoes such as the B1. I have had no experience with the new "pinner" and know little about them. I have however had two pairs of the B1 and they were the only thing to get me away from the 5.10s. Vibram soles, super good blend of sticky as well as durable. Wear them everywhere and had very limited wearing as well as solid canvas uppers, two sets of laces and great footbeds (think happy feet and gravis.) They work well for wider feet with a rubber wear patch on the outside baby toe that forms the start to a solid toe box. Feel a lot like a skate shoe that when tightened down gives a solid platform and connection to any studded pedal. Limited funk smell that is taken care of by a simple wash in a machine (only metal is the last couple lace grommets) and dries a couple hours after a wet ride. Out of the box they have a good water repellent that hold up for 5-6 months of regular water and washing. If they are going to get serious about making it into the market, I would like to see a velcro strap to protect the laces as well as a high top model for those with weaker ankles. Just my 2 cents.

Hey, it is a medium frame and I am 6 foot. I came down from a large stinky frame and love this bike to death. It is a true freeride; climbs well when you are in the saddle and engages the travel when you are standing. Took some getting used to due to the feeling that your weight is a little more out over the fork but lean back a little and you have the control you need. Not a great bike for me to huck big on but so much more control in the air than before. Any more questions on sizing for you and keys to making a build feel free to contact me.

Just a friendly heads up to all with questions about the location; the builders have worked very hard at creating and preserving the relationships with the governing bodies as well as creating some amazing trails. Not to be too strong a voice of localism but if you are willing to pick up a shovel and rake they will be more than willing to share what they have. Otherwise it is greatly appreciated that this remains a hidden jem. Thanks.

Thanks for giving Fasta a heads up. Really wish they would have missed this one for VOD.

Been two years on the fork and only one recent oil change. What happened to yours? LIke the for sale, how has the shock and rims held up?
