There was just enough of this beautiful day left to take the Rip Nine on her maiden voyage. This bike is Big, but it fits like a glove and doesn’t feel big when riding it. It's comfortable and I could ride it all day. I rode 15 miles on our usual routes and trails. This thing floats like a Cadillac. I found myself saying YEEESSS as I hit 25 MPH down “Coyote”. It just felt rock solid. I climbed everything I usually climb but didn’t try those to pesky hills I can’t make. I want to get used to it a little more first. This bike rolls like crazy on flats and descends. I’m going to have to shape up a little though to throw this big ole bike up the tough climbs with any speed. Hopefully I get 10 wonderful years out of this big like I did the Giant NRS. Can’t wait for Mammoth cause this bike will Rip there.

I love my Gary FIsher RIG. 29er SS. I NEVER thought I would ike a SS, et alone a 29er. Out east most riders are on a 29er of some sort. I was surprised to find it hasn't caught on as much out here.
