yeah but for my budget- under $700 this is about the best thing I have seen - also i talked to a lot of people and read a lot of reviews- the K2 is said to be an excellent bike- the brass monkey especially so. for $700 find me a better bike with the same or better components- you wont - ive been looking since late sept-
its near the same geometry as the other bike i was looking at- the Specialized HR pro Disc but has better components and is close to 6 lbs lighter.
nuff said for me
