My 2013 Ghost SE 2970 - 29er Hardtail

Hi guys,
After years of riding only 26inch MTB's - of which I still have a old school ridgid and a Stumpy FSR - I have now taken a leap and got my first 29er.
Its a 2013 Ghost SE 2970 which I got from a Friendly Dealer in my German Hometown and than I brought it back to the UK.
Here is a photo of the bike.

I have had my first ride out on very wet and muddy trails and it rides very well. I had to move the seat a bit more forward and the stem is currently a bit long for me (130mm) but I have ordered a shorter one already.
This will be my winter / long distance trail ride.
Does Anyone else on here has a Ghost?

I have a 2013 Ghost Cagua which was not what I intended buying when I walked into the shop. I was really impressed how it rode, the sheer value and the quality of the welds on the frame.
I also liked the fact that it was something different.
Enjoy your new ride, (and get that stem sorted before you take someone's eye out)
I will do a proper measurement.
and yes, new Stem should arrive today or tomorrow...! otherwise my back gets stretched too long!
This thing looks like it will eat up the trails. I had a go on a 29er hard tail last week and was impressed how speed they can carry.
just a basic Crank Brothers iodine 1 with 100mm - was on offer at CRC...so only £18. if that is still too long than i will got a shorter, but should be ok
i am still getting used to how big these wheels are! It huge compared to the 26er fully I have... :roll:
Only done one ride so far, but its fast! Brakes and gears are very slick.
Here are a few shots i took.
Great fun! And afterwars rewarding 1 hour cleaning session! 8)
I decided to cancel my order as I wasn't sure on a 29er. Looks like I missed out
Have fun!!
