Gary Fisher Paragon 29r.Took loaner from Action Outfitters and rode the heck outta it 2/10-11.This bike was spec w/ stuff that i would buy just to throw away and both days i went w/ zero food beforehand so it would be about as miserable as possible.I could train forever and hire a coach and would never be able to catch me on this bike w/ my 26. This bike unleashes all my DH and MX skills and climbs like a champ(also had no granny ring).When you stop pedaling it drops into OD and just goes faster.The feedback from the bars and pedals makes you feel slow but in reality you're going faster. Thanks to all i ran into this wknd cause the real world comparison to others i know helped a little more than my flat out solo motos.I am now going to beg shop and sell my soul to get this bike.Thank you and goodnite......................................oh yeah,Phatty,you owe me man!!
