I have spring break the week of 3/26, interested in any after-work rides?

Yes.
(already getting mad ***** with this bike)
After riding the stumpjumper, the rush and the epic back to back, climbing a 10-story parking garage with the epic, hammering all three bikes through some dirt lots, over curbs, off curbs, over homeless people (ok not really) and up the staircase at Mikes Bikes, the Epic is where it's at.
I got the comp in XL with a 100mm stem and am swapping the standard Shimano pedals with some Crank Bros. Candy SL pedals :wiggle:.
Looking forward to Saturday.

Fawkin hot. Good work.
I'm waiting on my marzocchi am3 to finish the hoopty SS. Will see how it goes, I might go towards BMX gearing after trying to 38-16 up hills again

Two more:
This is the trail-tune **** on the brain. Once you get the right amount of air pressure in the rear shock, and you get your rebound set like you like it, you can use this to basically dial the bike to near full hardtail or plushy. The difference in the range is pretty incredible - on full stiff, putting all my weight on the seat doesn't compress the shock at all, it's like a hard tail. Full soft and it compresses nicely. I'll have fun screwing with this on Saturday
