Pros: Made in USA; simple, simple, simple suspension design; any stupid color you want; pink; puke pink; proper wheel size available; swingarm design looks robust in a 1998 Cannondale way; really still made right now in 2014, apparently.
Cons: Single chainring only; super-long top tube geometry is only really normal top tube geometry for me, so that's annoying; not a fan of the name of the company or the bike, but I'm kind of a dick; would never get it this season now, so I probably will never get another new suspension frame in my natural lifetime since I wait too long every year and just finish the season on my single speed; single chainring only.
That single chainring only thing would really bug me. I am a big believer in the inner-middle-bashguard setup I've had since fivevah on full-suspension bikes. If you need a cog the size of your rear wheel because you only have one ring, or if you have such large jumps between cogs that the fucking thing won't shift on the trail, that is really fucking bothersome. I get that the single ring is a necessity with their suspension design, but I also know that it would bug the living shit out of me each and every day.
