Considering that you can see the chainring bolts on the outside of the spider, the chainring is already on the inside. The inner bosses you see are for the granny ring.

Allison, I'm not sure if I'd want a 30-12/34 on my M3. But even still, it would probably still climb pretty crappy. Well, pretty much the rider would suck - the bike would be ok.

Yeah, for DH 34+ is probably better. But, you shouldn't be climbing that anyway

That thing is brand new! I like it!
I can't remember the last time I've seen those cranks without ankle rub marks.

By the way, I'd bet that if you were to have yourself properly fitted on the bike, that you'd have to slide the seat back a bit.

Your right , I just rode it for the first time and only had an allen wrench for the seat post height with me but I was thinking the same thing.
Another problem is that it is a little small for me , Its a large but Id really fell better on a x- large , My butt feels too high when I setup to have full leg extension .
All my other bike frames are 21" seat tube , This ones 19" , I can live with it .

You could always get a laid back seat post too. That would at least give you more room in the cockpit.

Nice ride, I just went back to a hardtail too, loving it!
