    But it has three things going for it

    STEEL
    Black
    Cheap

    I had one and liked it. Had it set up as a SS and had my Niner set up geared. Rode them both but liked the Niner better, sold the Q-Ball and converted the Niner into a SS:)

    Lot's of good options out there including my Voodoo. Got an 06 on closeout for $250 (shipped):bang:

    Vassagos are Steel, Cheap and black too.... :-k

    And they have "Wet Cat" geometry which, as any hardcorp 29" SS rider knows, is crucial to performance.

    Vassagos are nice the Q-Ball is made right here in the US (if that makes a difference:?:

    Titanium? No thank you.


    I gather you havn't read this yet:

    Titanium

    Pros: Incredibly strong and lightweight. Riding ti is like being carried across a land of down duvets while on opium by herd of Jell-o horses all riding lugged steel bikes with Clement tubulars.

    Cons: The vast majority of titanium bikes are built of tubing purchased from breakaway republics that were once part of the former Soviet Union. These republics subsidize themselves by dismantling their nuclear weapons facilities and selling the space-aged materials of which they are comprised to the West. The result is that most titanium bikes emit unacceptable levels of radiation. Owners of titanium bikes are transforming their DNA on every ride and are unwittingly spawning an army of mutants even as you read this. In an already uncertain time, this is, quite frankly, horrifying.

    Only if you don't wrap it. Before you tap it.

    right but sometimes condomium 7.11 is hard to find, so you have to improvise.

    Produced

    I think you mean far east. :) The fact that they do not indicate MADE IN THE US on their web site tells me they are made overseas.

    But I could be wrong..
