The E Bay one will be a help. Ive been fighting with seat height, fore/aft and handlebar tilt.
Im about maximum size for the bike I bought. a 20" was just a little to close to home base... lol

Nice bike Ryan, I ride a Iron Horse Warrior Pro, and love getting out on some trails. Like Glasswolf said, bike fitting is important and make sure you look into that. After a while your legs and but will get used to the ride. You may want to look into some cycling shorts that have the padding on them. Well have fun on the new bike!

That's my MTB.
Trek Fuel EX 9.5
Full XTR group, CK headset, Mavic Crossmax SL-R wheelset wrapped in Maxxis Larsen TT UST tires, WTB Rocket V saddle, haydraulic discs, full carbon fiber, RockShox front and rear suspension (SID world cup)
They're fun toys.

My Dad & I rode 26 miles total on Wednesday.
What a ride...
The surprise was, after all the riding... A few hours later... I was ready to go again!

The real question is, are you going to put a system on it? You could use the wheel to turn an alternator... then pull a western flyer wagon behind you with a pair of 12's...

After some more time on the bike and trying my Dads bike for about 5 miles, Im pretty positive I need to get a bigger frame.
Looking to trade mine for a 20" bike now.

Towards fall last year I ended up selling the 7100. The fact was it was to small for me.
Ive been looking and saving a few bucks here and there- not to mention selling off some toys.
Ive done some looking and talking at the bike shops and this time around I went with a Giant Cypress.
I wanted to go on the slightly larger side this time. Realizing the Trek and the Giant had different geometry, I went with the Large. Its rated for a 5'10" to 6' something. Well Im 5'10" so its a tad big, but better than small.
Only did about 5 miles. Waiting on my bike computer. Bought a planet bike 9.0 protege wireless.
