I think this would be a nice addition and is something I have been looking for.<BR/><BR/>How about Marie for the name?<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700427765172131475.post-73553648582129074632007-08-28T13:01:00.000-07:002007-08-28T13:01:00.000-07:00Looks good. Hopefully frame weight will be on par with what the XC racing crowd is after. If that be the case - there's no stopping ya.<BR/><BR/>Agreed on the Ally name - maybe a bit too soft.<BR/><BR/>And lastly, I think the bottle opener thing is a bit overdone at this point. Personally, I'd like to see some other cool new little gadget incorporated into the frame. Something new and fresh. Don't ask me for input though, I'm all talk....:)<BR/><BR/>- MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700427765172131475.post-81915108314870848662007-08-28T09:55:00.000-07:002007-08-28T09:55:00.000-07:00what a novel idea to make bikes more affordable but not skimping on quality. for those that may not want to spend $1500 or more on their first 29'er to see if they like it and find out if it fits them, this provides them a sneak peak into the world of the 29'er.<BR/><BR/>the gussets near the headtube look nice. i would love to get on this bike and give it a try! it acutally looks 'flickable!'<BR/><BR/>props to everyone at Haro for smart ideas!<BR/><BR/>lastly, not so sure the 'Ally' works for me....could be a little bit 'too girly' for me. considering the sterotype of the 29'er buyer, maybe 'Martha' (keeping the 'M' in the line, like Mary) is something to consider.<BR/><BR/>"if you think you are too bad for the Mary, the Martha may be the bike to smack ya around!'<BR/><BR/>lastly, remember the old Ibis Mojo 'handjob' that helped with the cablerouting? Is there anywhere on this bike, such as the dropout where you could put a beer bottle opener?? these little touches add some character to the bike. if it can't be done on this lesser expensive line, can it be done on the Mary or is there something on the bike similar to that?<BR/><BR/>inquiring minds want to know!<BR/><BR/>to the freaks at Haro, great job!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700427765172131475.post-74642544129490680202007-08-26T12:01:00.000-07:002007-08-26T12:01:00.000-07:00Hell yeah! I just had to give up a mary xc i was demo'ing and miss it already. Looking forward to getting my hands on one of the Al frames to compare. Might be more in my $$$ range anyway.
