well at the price point its at I think its one of the best values out there, but how's it ride is what is the Question...however given the company it keeps on STR I get the feeling its a win win. BTW why aren't you on MSN? or is my trillian acting weird again

Yeah, you should be able to search "Canzo" and find plenty!!

For a FS bike, Jeff and I are both pleasantly surprised with the climbing ability. The bike climbs really well. I love my lockout and when I was racing it, I spent a ton of time in pro-pedal mode. The new shock doesn't have 3 settings, though, so just FYI. I think it has open and locked.

Descends pretty well. Slightly less fatiguing than the Dos. The shock isn't super plush, but it works fine.

Don't think Justin had any problems with the build at all.

I'm riding mine tonight, actually.

Unfortunately I've been riding the Dos so much, and it's so much lighter, that I am really enjoying it.

I'm torn on which to ride for the 12 hours. The course isn't super harsh. I hope to try out the Canzo a few times on the course and see if I can clean everything. I seem to be able to ride steeps better on the Canzo, but have trouble getting over rocks. Go figure, right?

Its good for the $ but I think a Fox RP23 will be on it sooner then later, I 'm not digging the Monarch.
For me its a blast after all the rigid hardtail stuff and as a 1x9 its great to have a few gears!
I used it for a pre-lap at the 24 hours of Hurkey Creek and it was fine. Climbs fine and the downhills were a blast!
I'm thinking of bringing it to Aliso this weekend and see what Rock-it and Lynx are like with squish!

I only have two rides on the Monarch and I'm hoping my concerns about it are setup related - At proper air pressure/sag, it blows through the travel kinda easy.

But I'm not going to throw a $400 RP23 at this bike, I'll just sell the frame and get something else if it comes to that.

Wrong size, but it's a good thought!

Canzo 29er uses a 6.5" x 1.5" shock. I suspect a RP23 in those dimensions is going to be special order.

is it a medium 07 or 08? the TT numbers seem to be different from one year to the other unless Jenson has the wrong numbers...BTW I ride a 23 TT if anyone is selling

VooDoo changed the frame a bit from 07 to 08. Different shock, longer TT, slightly different frame geo, and cable routing I believe.

If you want to wait a bit, I believe Salsa will also be releasing a FS eventually
