1. how light is it?
2. They sent the wrong size, did you had to pay to ship it back? 
3. @flipwiggins glad you like it....i ride mine almost daily as my "get around town" bike.....i may purchase a road bike from them very soon....
4. @soarstar nice vid....i wanted the orange one but they didn't have my size
5. I have owned the Deadeye since Feb 10' - the idea being to try 29" wheels and single speed mountain biking. Dare I say...? I enjoy riding it more than a few of my $2000 and up machines! For sure, the wheels will need truing if you ride anything rocky / technical - See my vid: DSF Tommy Emmanuel for some boring footage riding it on moderately technical terrain. Expect the freewheel to come loose (easy fix not debilitating) otherwise no problems and a great ride / intro to SS 29er's.
6. @dolofonos honestly, i'd go for the 15 prob. i'm 5" 10 and the 17 is great if not, just a tad to big
7. Congratulations on your new bike . . . I'm glad to hear the process ended well--this is the only reason I have not ordered one is I'm afraid of getting a defective or wrong unit, but your experience might help me pull the trigger. Anyway, like the other rider I'm unsure about frame size. It seems to me that the laws of fit don't exactly apply to 29ers--no matter what you get it's going to be 'too big' because, well, that's the point. So, at just under 5'8", do you think the 17" would work?
8. @drifterx37 yes i am happy, i'm about 70inches and the 17inch is a perfect fit, i also came from bmx, i think the 19inch may be really big. but if your going to just ride it, it should be fine. if your going to be riding aggressively then i'd go for the 17in
9. How tall are you and are you happy with the geometry of the 17" frame? I'm thinking about picking one up too. I'm 6'1", but coming from a bmx I may order the 17" frame anyways.
10. @jbrookeiv bike rides great, no problems whatsoever
11. Any more updates on how the bike rides? Thinking of picking one up.
12. sweet bike dude! droid is poop ;)
13. @LeafwortThumbfloggin honestly i've been working like crazy for the past 2 weeks so i've only been able to ride it locally on paved roads, but so far so good.....
14. How does the bike ride? I'm on the verge of picking one of these up. Seems like a killer deal.
