I’ve got one, bought a 2010 frame and built it up myself with 160mm forks, the forks mostly just for the reason that they were the only forks I had to use, but I also wanted to raise the BB a touch, so it suited me. I’m very happy with it. Almost everything is good. However, the low BB has good and bad points. Good, if you like play biking, because it’s very confidence inspiring being sat in the bike at such a low position. Bad, as a low BB means pedal strikes, so you have to be thinking about timing your pedal strokes amongst rocks and other ground obsticals. That little disadvantage is small IMO, you learn to learn timing those pedal strokes in occasional situations. I bought it because of the low BB, it’s how I like it. I wasn’t disappointed, great bike IMO.
I’m also a fan of that suspension system, I’m sure more USA manufacturers would use it if the patent wasn’t so closely guarded by Specialized and Ellsworth.
