Jay and Halter's:
Thanks for hooking up my co-worker, Brett, today. He checked out a number of shops before talking to me about a new bike. He's pretty stoked to be on a FS 29er. Hopefully he doesn't get too fast on it!
very cool and great idea for spring tune ups. I'm over an hour away but considering. any plans for another store north?
I still bleed Cruz, I even bought my kid a Santa trick board and long board. I would buy a heckler in a heart beat...Thought that I would add that we are now a dealer for Santa Cruz.

We have a Tallboy (LG) and a 5010 (m) available for Demo. More bikes on the way.

do you think the 5010 has too much travel for NJ riding?

sounds like the Tallboy is in the stars for youJust spent about an hour at 6mr and then a little less at the sourlands. At 6mr the SC did everything my spearfish does only better - quicker, more nimble, much easier climbing. I cleared all the rollers on red heading towards canal road first time ever for me. Almost set a PR on the short loop and wasn't even pushing it (plus was sweating big time). At the sourlands it was a different story. Better on the cleaner trails and again on climbing, but in the bigger rocks it bogged down - couldn't monster truck over the rocks like my 29er. And I was getting more pedal strikes. One thing I noticed is I can trackstand much easier on this bike than the spearfish. And downhill it kicked ass, set a PR on the pipeline bomb and I was braking to slow down (didn't want to crash it!). Overall it's a great bike but for me I think I something similar in weight but a 29er. More demos to follow - jay has several cards up his sleeve
Note this is more skill related than tires size related...Better on the cleaner trails and again on climbing, but in the bigger rocks it bogged down - couldn't monster truck over the rocks like my 29er.
