Thanks. I'm stoked to be picking up a DH bike again. Been doing all my shuttling and lift trips with the Knolly. It's fun, but not quite the same...

I'll post up some more pics/info when I get it home.

Nice. I just bought a Legend MKII as well a few months ago and have 3 DH trips on it so far. My previous DH/FR bike is a Turner Highline (7" travel). My impression thus far is that it is much faster in the rough stuff and mows through rock gardens. It corners really well thanks to the low BB. It takes drops well. It does not work as well for me on jumps yet as my Highline. I think I just need to get used to the long wheelbase and go faster and use a bit more body english. But overall it is a really sweet bike.

It's not a typical park bike. It could have more pop I agree but it rewards you with being able to take all the idiotic lines you want.

So how do you like it? First impressions? I'm always curious since it's such a specific bike.
