Very nice, a great frame to build from, have a 2008 multi blue(converted to SS using it for a cruiser) and an olive drab green single speed on the way(Nashbar blowing them out for $333 with coupon code, more than 50% off). The green one will be use off road.

Lessons learned from my blue multi, if you're planning on using as a real trail bike, a long cage front derailleur such as the one that came on them will contact the tire under high torque uphill pedaling, this is not unique in 29ers with traditional diamond frames and fairly short chainstays(short for a 29er) just a limited amount of room back there. I went to a 2X9 setup w/bash with a newer short cage derailleur. Do not use a Shimano rear hub less than a Saint(e.g. Deore, XT) torque will break the pawls inside the freehub (many horror stories on MTBR had my own, sucks when your freehub goes fixieconverted to SS after that). If the stem is still the EA30 check the data code and go to the Easton site as some of these were recalled(mine).
 
I just started putting some bits and pieces on it..I might go single speed and just make it a trail bike..?
