Competitive cyclist has a great deal on ASR7 They are calling it a "Flash Sale" I don't know how long the price is good for. http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CCY?PAGE=PRODUCT&OPTION=LOAD_PRODUCT_BY_ID&PRODUCT.ID=8620
Great deal. Closest price on Google Shopping is $1699 and that's a 2010 model. Just got off the phone with a buddy of mine and almost pulled the trigger except the standover height was too much, will lose his nuts.
Dang, I'm selling my ASR7 too. Hope the people who are interested in an ASR7 (in small size) go for my complete 1 year old one rather than a '11 frame.
I just don't ride it. I drank the 29er kool-aid, ride more XC style stuff, and haven't really put it to much use. It's just a garage queen. I can say I like it more than the Giant Reign X0, for sure. The ASR7 is way faster, way more confidence inspiring, shatters any preconceptions of how poorly you'd think a 7" bike would pedal (it accelerates pretty damn fast), eats up drops and flies off jumps better. It opened up the world of drops and hucks and gave meaning to the word braaaap (which I used to think was cheesy, until I actually experienced it).
