Love the color of the Niner.
Mine's an '07 model, with the "newer" Genesis geometry.



Mine's a medium/17.5" frame. I've since added green bottle cages and a pair of the green Ergon grips, which made a big difference in comfort, road and trail alike. Looking to add an Old Man Mountain rack this year so I can do a little off-road touring with it.
