Moots are sweet but cost way more if you want a custom. Also I don't see the point in one inch of travel. If you get a Seven, Strong or DeSalvo HT you would save money. If you got a 29er you wouldn't need that angry inch either and you would save weight.

If I recall correctly it cost me about $74K back in 88'.
Yikes! I had trouble saving up $7400 for a car when I was 16. 20 years later with a good paying job still had trouble saving $74K for a house.
I take it you didn't work at the local fast food joint like most high schoolers?

Started out racing go-carts when I was 5 and since then, all of the prize money and the side jobs building engines for other teams paid for my first street car. It was rough back when I was 15 driving a race car on the weekends and not being able to drive on the street. I knew that I wanted a worthy car. The M6 was the shiat back then.

Damn Ken! When I was 16 I have saved up a grand total of $74.000000000. Lucky bastard!

Any how I would vote for the Seven over the Moots YBB.
