his is a 2010 model that I bought in May of this year. It has less than 15 hrs of riding and besides the normal mountain bike scuffs it is in showroom floor shape. Great bike. Really impressed with the handling as well as it's climbing capabilities. A true "All Mountain" bike. The Hammerschmidt crankset is awesome! It's the equivalent to a 22/36t set up. The beauty of it is: it's compact so lot's of clearance for tech sections, it's basically impossible to drop a chain, built in bash guard, and best part, you can shift even if you aren't pedaling so it's impossible to load it up so it won't shift like a regular front derailleur set up. The fork is great. This Talas has the three position set up. 160, 130, 100. The 130mm setting is great. Drops the head tube angle just enough and gets enough weight over the bar to make it a pretty agile climber. The rest of the specs are all top notch. At $2000 this is a great deal. 50% off for very few hours of riding on it! Let me know if y
ou'd like to check it out or if you have any other questions.
Thanks for looking. Brian
**Note- Would also be interested in selling only the frame.
$975 for frame only. (Would throw in seatpost clamp, headset, Thompson seatpost, and WTB saddle)
