Hi everyone. Looks like a good place to learn about these great bikes. Tried riding a 955 and loved it but ended up with a Scott Pro racing endorphin. Read reveiws of both in MBUK and thought I might have made the wrong choice.

hi - glad you made it over here. Lots of expert knowledge here! Just noticed your Wanted post - if you're 6'4" (I am 6'3") then you could also consider a 'Way Big' frame. My 857 is in that size which is 21.5" seat tube by 23" top tube. You may find 'medium' a tad too short in the top tube.

Yes, Yes, Waybig.
I would also keep in mind the 7 series bikes with the Noleen shocks, and carbon bits. Just for comparison, check out the Proflex 4000 and 5000.
