2005 Turner 5 Spot, although I'm getting serious pressure to pick up a singlespeed.
That is a fun bike.
I rode it at the on dirt demo last year and I really dug it.
I don't ride much in the desert so that bike made it seem easy.
I am in a single-speed 29er phase right now so while the Maestro makes sense to me I will come back to it later.
My buddy has that same bike and I lent him a Rush demo the other day. He said that the rush was noticably stiffer right to left and a much better climber. No surprise.
He also noted that for his style of riding he might be willing to give up some of the smooth bump performance ot the Maestro design to gian the climbing ability of the rush.
He also loved the razor sharp handling of the lefty.
To be clear I sell both Giant and C-dale so I am not bashing the Giant. It is a darn good bike.
i have a trance, and my hand was forced into making a bike purchase early last year. while the trance is the best bike i've owned, i wish i had some more info and time to evaluate the rush before i made the purchase. i've only ridden c-dales, and i miss the lefty. from what i read, the rush is better in the rough than i initially thought.
at least you bought something, more then i can say for Jake

Even though it just sits in his garage...
do you have any idea what would happen to YOU if you sat in that garage!?!?
broken legs, ruptured spleens...
beware the mountain lion...he lurks in the strangest places...like the other side of the minivan.
