It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I've been looking at them and dreaming of one for over three years now. Sadly I can't find a way to justify the price where I live.

Yes, a Giant Trance 29er...single track and riding to the single track. Allows me to climb the trails instead of multiple shuttle runs., then ride home.

And some fire road riding eg ride down to the nearby lake and have breakfast on a park bench with my partnernis a common one, once a week or so.
