What riding are you planing on riding? Sorry to introduce a new bike but I really recommend the http://www.cannondale.com/2012/bikes/mountain/overmountain/jekyll-carbon/2012-jekyll-2-21342 if you ride AM. I have probably 15-20 friends who ride on my team, we were sponsored by cannondale 45% off, who ride carbon jekyll and love it. Even when we ride with ben cruz hes almost always on his Jekyll. We ride XC up and some crazy technical DH down. Everyone tells me its amazing

how did you get 45%
Many of the riders that began on our team moved on the be cannondale factory riders they helped us out in getting a sponership for our team. I think it was actually more like 55% off but you had to assemble the bike.
If not one of these bikes which all mountain bike has that same low sit feel like the big hit? - i like the low sit feel when the seat lowered -dont the like the leaning over the handle bar feel as much -possibly add a shorter stem to an AM
I dont know about the low seat if the bike doesnt specify you could just get a smaller size IF you wanted it that bad but I dont recomend it. I went from a super low seat on my hardtail to a slightly taller bottom seat on me enduro it through my riding off at first but you get used to it.
Almost everyone around here runs shorter stems like a shimano Pro or Azonic Barretta Stem.
BTW Was recently talking to my friend who rides a cannondale jekyl carbon and was super pumped to get a claymore. He rode it for about a week then went back to his jekyl because it couldnt climb anything close to what the jekyl did.
Once again that for your advice i'm getting closer to making my decision. Once I have free time im gonna try to go to the bike shop and test ride a few. I want to compare the jekyll claymore and enduro
I own and 2011 enduro comp amd love it, there are a few problems I run into with the components becuase it is the comp but it is an amazing bike. If money is realy no object if you want to climb to the top then shred down get the sworks if you want to climb to the top then shred down double black diamknds get the evo expert
