Airborne Goblin 29er

Bike came today...I must say the thing was packed extremely well...took longer to unpack than it did to assemble..once unpacked it was as simple as putting the front wheel on...turning the stem around and attaching the handlebar..tightening everything up and done..about 22 minutes total..the bike looks solid and the pictures do not do it justice...it is not light..but then again it is not a 3000 dollar race bike..I guess around 26-27 pounds..which is respectful for a bike in this price range..I figure with the new wheels...carbon stem and seat post and handle bar I can knock a pound or two off...which will more than suite my needs...the bike is equipped with a full X7 drive train and Avid Elixr 7 brakes..Selle San Marco saddle...Airbornes in house seat post and handle bar and stem...for the 1200 dollars the bike cost and how it is equipped I could not touch one at a bike shop for less than 2000 most likely.. what I like most about the bike so far is its stance..it does not look like someone took to big wheels and tried to sandwich a frame in between them..I look forward to taking her out on her maiden voyage..
