I'm looking at building up a 100-120mm hardtail and the EMD 9 looks good. Anyone got one?
Had one about 7 or 8 years ago, until a scrote nicked it. 🙁
Nice bike. I liked it a lot. My first 29er, it really did roll over things well. Quite a direct ride, light built up with average components and climbed really well as a combination.
The only negative I had were the Reba's I had were a bit flexy to say the least, noticeable battering into Peak rock gardens.
If you are looking for a xc bike with 100mm forks you will probably like it; it's not designed for 120mm forks though.
Bought mine from cycleworks in Leatherhead just under a year ago. Still getting used to riding a 29er but it rides light & of course every time you look down you see "pedal damm it"!
Anyway, can we do pics? 😀
