Nice bike.
Have you taken it for a spin yet, I am interested to find out how well the new suspension design works.

Anywho, beautiful ride, nice parts group, and have fun.

You've reached your allotment of non-dirty bike pics; the next pic of your bike must show it with dirt on it

nice bike!

first off great bike, I looked at Trek for a while , but know very little about them, except I had one a long time ago...second how come they put you on a 120mm stem? at 21.5 was the ett still not long enough to run anything shorter...btw you do play for the clips or the Lakers?

theres dirt on it, you just cant see a lot of it cause im being anal about having a clean bike since its so new and shiny

the 120mm is just what came with it. It felt fine once i got used to the slower steering, so no worries there. I might talk my LBS in san luis obispo into letting me try out a few other stem lengths, but ill stick with the 120 for now. also, i suck at basketball

and btw, ill be at santiago oaks tomorrow if you wanna take a closer look

Hello everybody....this is my first post though I've been reading these boards for awhile now. I'm very impressed with the level of knowledge and general camaraderie I've found in here.

Here are some pix of my newest, Trance XO. Had it for about 2 months now. No dirt as I took these right after a nice cleaning!

Simply an awesome bike. It has exceeded every expectation I had.

Nice to be a part of your forum!

I just brought home my 07 Rocky Mountain Slayer SXC50. I had to sell my bass guitar, my amp, my DH bike, my first born, and my soul to afford this bike. Going on my first ride tomorrow.....

If you sell enough junk, you might walk away with some sweet ride........
