So... after I was all set to buy a Kona Blast I tried out this Giant. It is very light and nimble. It fits me well and climbs like a little goat (the Kona felt very heavy and slow in comparison). I think I grinned the whole time I was riding. I've read mixed reviews – always seems to be the case. It has a RockShox Dart 3. Some have had problems with these leaking. I'd be buying it at a local shop, so they'd do maintenance/repair. Any thoughts?
