SRIC Mountain Bike Crew!
Yeah I hear you on the shill thing, but $499 for a frame? And they seem to get high marks on customer service issues.
Meh, 30 days, I don't like it, I send it back.

You rybizzie.. $800 fo dis.
It has a custom paint job that I did....flat-black with gloss black lettering...it's proven to be very durable and looks great IMO...
It won't be specced exactly like the picture b/c I'm taking some stuff to my new bike...
It will however be getting some of the brand new parts from the bike I'm buying...(i'll indicate those in the list with "***")
The parts list like will look like this
Frame: Motobecane Fantom Elite DS (XL: 21.5")
Fork: Rockshox Dart 3 w/ poploc remote
Rear Shock: Rockshox Bar
Rear Derailleur: SRAM X-7
Front Derailleur: Deore ***
Shifters - SRAM x-5 ***
Crank/ BB Truvativ Isoflow ***
Brakes: Avid BB5
Headset: Cane Creek S-2
Wheelset: Sun Rims Blackeye w/ 11-34 9sp cassette ***
Saddle won't be the Flite, but whatever saddle is on the cannondale, also I can throw in some Crank Brother MXR Eggbeaters to the mix too
I'd like to get about $800 for it...but I'm definitely open to offers... It's a great bike...tough as hell and rides like a champ...I just want a lightweight hardtail...

hahahah, yeah, I looked at used bikes, but I have too many parts already... I looked at used frames, but I want there to be someone to turn to if there are warranty issues. Motobecanes are awesome though. My cousin bought a pair for his daughters for like $500 each and they are awesome.
Plus I'm not a friggin' giant like you.
21.5" frame?!?!??!?!

If I can't fit it, there is no way in hell Aaron can ride that thing.

I rode Olmstead today. I thought since FHLT was in such good shape Sunday that 3 days later Olmstead wouldn't be to muddy. WRONG! There was water and mud all over the place. My feet were soaking wet and freezing by the time I got back. I still had fun though.

That depends on if you want to test your mud tires or not. 
The only mud hole I couldn't make it through was just before the paved road we cross. I had neither the speed or horsepower to make it. The mud I got on my shoes there got washed off in the ice water stream crossing.
