Respectable on the weight. The shock looks nice. It looks like it has a lock-out.

It does. I am just waiting for a chance to test it on the trail, I live in the middle of arguably one of the best MTB area in the NE of the US and I have yet to go for my first ride since I moved here!

Work and life does have a habit of getting in the way of fun...

Well, the bike held well...the rider not so much! Riding with a group of supposedly 'Out Of Shape' guys made me realize how really out of shape I am. Not giving up though. Made a few minor adjustments to the bike setup (replaced the 32T chainring with a 30T and tilted the stem to a -6 degrees). Here she is.
