Very nice! I have the X.9 on my bike and love it. I personally like the performance better than the Shimano.

Lily green...hmmmm...it actually is close in color to the California (and Sierra)fawn lily. It's also close to a bunch of Calochortus lilies (cats ear, star tulip).

Make sure you read up on that RP3 and memorize the settings. I still can't remember. I think I'm gonna have it replaced with a "no brainer" rear shock. I already have to think too much when I mountain bike!
