oh one other thing. the big ripper is long. feels long. like a freaking limo. yiu get used to it pretty quick but its still huge. my 29" haro feels smaller and just feels better riding for me. still a big bike and 29" rims but just feels better for me. there is also a 29" GT performer too so maybe you'll want to check a few different brands out and see what fits ya better. .
as soon as ya buy a SE bike you may as well buy bearings for the cranks because they will clank and be bad from almost day one. common issue with them.
