 Cheers bro. She feels light also. I think is going to be a keeper? How many times have I said that ?

 it looks super light and fast...a good friend bought a 950 this summer and has not touched his Stumpjumper since then...

 It looks a keeper now she's coming together. The geometry is good, I don't want to be low and stretched out on this one, the Turner does that job bro. I shortened the stem 35mm, high rise bars for comfort not speed, slight layback on the seatpost. Everything is in proportion so far for the longer days out. I may need to shorten the turner stem also, the Thomson is 90* and i'm running her upside down, roughly -10* with a guess? Feels perfect, but too long over the front, with the long top tube, so may get another 35mm Answer stem or similar so they will be both a comfortable cockpit.

 well, the Turner in size XL is a tad big for you to begin with but a 70-90mm stem should be ideal for both the Sultan and the RMB as they fall pretty much in the same category...the problem with such a short fr stem is that you'll ride with the rear suspension loaded and not much weight if any on the front,,,a more centered position will definitely make it a better climber and overall faster too...what size is the RMB ???...

 The RM is XL bro, but you lose the top tube length in the huge drop off the top tube to the seat tube. it's not much different alongside the Ellsworth 26in in a size medium, she comes up shorter than the Turner. The RM don't feel like sitting on a 29'er due to the frame shape?

 each company's geo charts differ greatly from each others but when comparing sizings, you're better off keeping in mind the horizontal (virtual) top tube length only and not mind the actual length of the sloping tt...RMB have some of the lowest stand over height on their 29''er lineup, making you feel like you're really sitting Inside the bike...
