    Anyone riding one of these? If so how do you like it, any problems with it (hubs, headset…). I do fancy getting one, maybe a 2009 or 2008 model. Any pictures and spec most appreciated.

    I’ve got an 08 one, not ridden it much, upgraded most of the kit on it.

    Rides OK, frame is heavy @ 5.75lb IMO. But looks nice. I’d be disappointed if there weren’t better value bikes out there.

    That is a heavy frame, and I’m only a skinny fella. Maybe I should hold out and get an On-One Scandal?

    It’s gotta be lighter and they seem rated.

    i’ve got a 2008, the bearings in the wheels aren’t so hot (actually the wheels as a whole ain’t so good) and the headset needs replacing after a year, in fact most everything has been upgraded on it, it’s a lovely bike now, i like the ride a lot, one of the best 29ers i’ve tried

    The frame is 5.7lb,well both my 19″ ones are.Still makes 22lb with ss and rigid bits.Most (ok all) of the original bits have been replaced but more due to irrational upgrading than them wearing out.Was gonna get a salsa selma but quite like the twangy indistructableness of the unit.If youre lanky then http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fskona-unit-29.
