I cant get off the damn thing! I just blew a few guys away that I could never beat at a triathalon I just did this weekend. Amazing.

I like GF 29 - I started with the 229 model - its only problem was the shimmy. I then bought the Paragon on which the frame broke where the sit tube meets the main frame (3 more similar pairs that were bought from the same shop I bought mine broke at the same place) and now the ferrous which was suppose to replace the broken paragon is no good as I can not ride it with out counting the revs by hitting my ankle on the sit stay. I think GF was smart starting this line of 29 but I am not sure about their capabilities as bike builders. Hello Guys:

I have seen 2 customers finally get their Ferrous' after 6 months of waiting. Both bikes showed up with the rear triangles way out of alignment. Pisser is......Fisher can't do anything about it cause they don't have any warranty or replacements available. I had one customer cancel her order after 5 months and she got a Paragon instead. Give the Niner MCR or SIR 9 a look. Just an observation and a thought. Chad, cancel your order and get something else. I have seen 2 customers finally get their Ferrous’ after 6 months of waiting.

I hear that Fisher is trying to fill orders as fast as they can, but some of the delay is due to the very unique nature of the frame itself. Don't worry, you'll love yours when it does show up, they are very nice!
