The fuel 100 seems like a great choice for someone who has that kind of money __________________ Ride with the best, Die like the rest.

I've always loved the Giant but never really had the chance to ride a fuel. __________________ Ride with the best, Die like the rest.

The raw power of the carbon frame is just so rewarding, even if you do get 'pinballed' about on some loose descents! The Epics are very good, and the Santa Cruz Blur is also superb, if a little bit heavier.
