Airborne bikes??

Been searching for a Pisgah hardtail for a while...bordering on OCD really, and Dan the Man put me on to this bike. Component list for the price is awesome and fits the bill on Geo. for what I've been looking for. Slack, short chain stays, 120mm fork, etc. Not sure about Airborne though. They seem like a good manufacturer but I'm always sketchy about "too good to be true". 

My other choices were:
Transition Trans Am
Canfield N9/Yelli
Banshee Paradox
Or any slack(ish) 29er that fits a longer fork. 

This Airborne ride seems right on par with those but half the price. Any thoughts/experience with this company?

Thanks folks Smiley

a friend of mine bought a Goblin, and replaced it with another Goblin a couple years later.  He has voiced no complaints and logs plenty of fast miles.

Add the ROS9 to your list to research if you haven't already.
