Honestly if you like your bike to be more agile and jump sections instead of plowing through them THIS is the bike for you, forget the 29er. This bike corners amazingly, climbs anything in its path and accelerates the moment you let off the brakes, it was a drastic change from my previous stumpjumper. It's in great condition and only has a few minor scratches, some cable rub and some of the crank arm paint has rubbed off but there are no dents or dings whatsoever. This is the 2015 size large remedy, it will fit people in the 5'10"-6'1" range and I find that its very comfy for me at 5'11".
Some of the upgrades I have made to it are to add a short stem to improve steering and get your weight a bit more towards the back wheel, a practically new Rockshox Pike RCT3 set at 150mm for which I also have a brand new internal shaft to allow it to go up to 160mm if you'd like. I also added a new Ergon seat with carbon rails and GE1 lock on grips to make this thing comfy to handle when things get rough or on all day rides. Lastly since the stock bontrager tires were sketchy so I added some Schwalabe Hans Damf tires (2.25" width) with a tube-less set up so you can run super low tire pressures for extra grip if you want. This bike is in great condition and everything on it has a lot of life left before anything needs to be replaced. Lastly, something I noticed on this bike instantly is grip, it is spectacular and you notice it very much when climbing or descending. It's very light so you can flick it around easily and it likes to get some airtime for sure.
