I am on a Giant Ranier (god I love Giants... havent found a better bike for the money), with a Marzocchi Z4, and Avid mechs on both ends. Full Deore componentry (not the nicest, but I havent had a lick of trouble with it--its always worked, and worked well, through the worst I've thrown at it) Gotta love that bike. And for $700, it can't be beat.
Ive actually been doing a lot of road riding recently. Sorta blasphemous for a MTBer, but I really like the ability to just crank it and haul ass for long stretches of time--you don't usually get that on a mountain bike.
Oh, and Im in Charlotte, NC.
