March/April 09? Really? I have a pic of one from late July/early Aug 2008, but it maybe it was a pre-production bike. #2 Fair enough. I guess you can't review what you haven't tested. I still dig your reviews and reports nonetheless. @GT #1. March/April 09? Really? I have a pic of one from late July/early Aug 2008, but it maybe it was a pre-production bike.

Wasn't the Big Mama a 2008 model? It didn't make the list for 2008, but did for 2009, however nothing changed. Were the 2009 contenders so lackluster that a bike that didn't make the list with its inception, made it the next year? 2. I'm sure Milwaukee makes an excellent bike and the GunKote really sounds like a great thing, but aside from your review(s) I really never even knew the bike existed. I'm suprised the (limited edition) Superfly SS didn't make the list. I realized it wasn't supposed to be available for public consumption, but my assumption would be that there are more of them running around out there than the Milwaukee 29er. I don't know the numbers, this is just an opinion. *To me*, the Superfly SS was the attention whore of the year, even though I decided to pass on the opportunity to buy one for a Selma instead. Anyhow, please don't take it as a knock. I'm just asking the questions and throwing out the opinions, for nothing more than the sake of conversation. Hey Ted, just throwing some thoughts out there…
