Might as well kick off a new thread for the year with new gear! I bought this baby for $2199 today. I pick it up on Wednesday.

Nice bike - great price !
Need to find me a deal like that
Now is definitely the time to pick up last year's bikes at great prices as shops need to make room for this year's models. I found this one and one other I looked at by just trolling local shops' websites for sale bikes. I got lucky as the only size they had happened to be an XS. It's odd because bike size is the only thing that I need an XS in. I'm 5'6" tall but my legs are just so dang short that standover height is a real issue. I tried a 2016 Trek Lush SL 27.5 and a 2017 Trek Fuel EX 5 in a 14" and those were too big.
Anyone have opinions on hitch mounted bike racks that are lockable? I can get a bike in the back of my vehicle but there will be trips to Steamboat when I want to take 2 bikes and camping trips where the inside is loaded with gear so I need the bike on the outside.

We've had an "all time" winter in terms of snow this year, so the slowest start ever to real mtb riding for 2017.
stand over is over rated....
With a longer more stable, and yet still easier to turn bike the need to get off the bike is greatly reduced.
I have no stand over at 5'8 on my Large Trance, but it rides WAY better than a M trance ever would for me.
