Did I miss it or have you not stated who makes the frame. We have established it's not a Felt or Niner and that you work for the company. But what company?

If not rock-it, where else are you going to ride her? The loop?

+1. I've seen IBIS folks going down Rock-It and Lynx.

I'm thinking a weekday San Juan - Cocktail rock is in order....my problem is 250lb rider + Light carbon MTB = paranoia! I'lll probably hit Rock-it sooner or later, just not the A-line!

like to throw my leg over that rig. Never ridden a carbon bike Does it have more of a alum or STEEL feel

Kind of a super stiff steel feel, closest thing I can relate it to is gen.1 Columbus Max OR (that was insanely stiff) but without any harshness that you'd get from an equally stiff aluminum bike.

designed around a reba @ 100mm ? or some other fork/travel/offset?

[biglimey]

it's designed around an 80/100 with a 46mm offset. The fork on there right now is a bit of a Frankenfork (Reba lowers with custom offset crown) And it seems to ride best right at 90mm, but works 99.9% as well at 100mm

From my experiences on a Fisher Procaliber, it feels dead.
It mutes any harsh hit. But it feels hollow and disconnected from the trail. When a car review says the steering feels too light with no feedback from the road. I get the same feel from the procaliber.
