It'll be just as good as a 2009 Turner, but at a small fraction of the cost.

Phew! I'm just glad you didn't list an Ellsworth as a choice. We all know they fall apart the moment the tires touch dirt. If it's strictly for show then an Ellsworth would fit the cool-factor bill.

Try a specialized enduro.
It also pedals very good.
I have the reign x1 and the enduro.

I'd say my new bike qualifies... Bionicon Supershuttle. It's the one I'm riding in the videos from last weekends 5 days of mammoth, and today I rode the same bike 51 miles with 7500' of climbing/descent. Definitely all-mountain worthy. 170mm front, 160 rear, 33 pounds.

never ridden a ridge, but they look pretty sweet. my friend has a DNA and a Splinter, and I will say the craftsmanship on the frames is top notch. Frank the Welder knows his stuff. can't comment much on ride, since he always has some sketchballs setup running on his bikes (rotor cranks, bebop pedals, road stems, 6"F/8"R brakes, the works)

They also have pretty good customer service over there. he cracked the rear triangle on his splinter, and they repaired it/reinforced it for free.

I think the vagrant would be a lot more fun with a slightly longer fork (something along the lines of a 36), even if it is for trails.

I've ridden a vagrant (built a little heavy) and with the right build I bet it would be a nice trail bike, it can be hucked for sure! Actually the Geo is really close to my single speed iron horse, and my horse rides nice.

Default How's about Scott Ransom 30?
It's an awesome 6.5" travel AM bike for just a bit more than 3K (on sale), and only 32lb.

Massachusetts. It was cool though, they paid to ship the frame back, repair it, and send it back. It took about a month and a half, but they needed to work the frame into their schedule so they could get it heat-treated with a batch of new ones.

Massachusettes? I didn't even know they had trails there!
