New Bike! 2012 Motobecane Fantom Pro 29er

Been looking to transition over to the 29" wheels for about a year and a half now, and finally decided to pull the trigger.  Sold my Giant Trance X2 and picked up this one; 2012 Motobecane Fantom Pro 29er!  

I love the way this bike feels, and do not miss rear suspension at all.  This baby is buttery smooth and climbs better than any bike I have ever ridden!!

  1. I just picked up the 2013, though it looks like the same exact bike. How do you like it?
