That seems uber light weight. Nice frame btw.
Thanks,
She rode one at Interbike and it happens to one of the few she could stand over and even better, we sold. Should build light and fast.

Now that I have time to ride, I am looking for a decent mountain bike. It looks like most of the bikes in this thread are way beyond my means. I was looking on-line at the Mongoose 2011 Tyax Sport. It's just under $500. Any good? Does anyone have a suggestion for a bike for under $500? It will spend most of it's time on-road but I might branch out and take it with me on my desert trips.
I'd highly suggest either looking on craigslist for a decent used bike or checking out Jensonusa.com for a good deal on new. If its not going to be used that much but you want something that will last to me those are your best options.
Jenson has a 2011 SE Stout for $580 right now with free shipping. The reviews for these as an entry level 29er have been great, I was going to pick one up myself but had a little more in the budget than you do and ended up finding something else used on craigslist. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/BI265L03-Se+Bikes+Stout+29Er+Bike+11.aspx
