Clear coat on what? The frame is just plain raw. The fork is matte. I also had run everything slammed until this bike. It has a 13.5" bb height so I like to run it a little taller. Its a fun bike so far, I would love to try a large demo, TR250/450, and the new Norco Aurum. All those look like fun lively bikes which is what I tend to enjoy more. Probably won't be changing for a while though. This may be the first season I don't swap either of my bikes

wow man that is amazing!!! We need to swap rides this summer. The adjustable chainstays on the 2012's make the bike perfect. I would love to try it with the 17" chainstays.

I wouldn't second guess it. The 888 is lighter and supposed to be amazing. If I could have got one for the same price as the 40 I might have tried one. It is a slack bike indeed. The lower crowns are probably 1/2 an inch higher then the minimum and it has an external lower headset cup. Its probably sub 63 degrees ha ha. It took me a few runs to learn that I really need to keep my weight over the bars in corners but it is a fun, stable bike that is still pretty lively

I am 5'11.5 according to my last doctors visit. I have pretty long arms though. I think their suggested heights are pretty spot on

I wanted to try something new this time around. I have owned a few boxxers and 2 888's in the past so I was left with either a 40 or dorado. Either would have been rad but got the 40 for too good of a price. I hear the new 888's are awesome so maybe in the near future I will try one again

I like them more then Minions personally, The guys I ride with own a shop that doesn't carry the big S so they sharpie the butchers. The frame is a large. Definitely on the small size of typical larges which is perfect for me because I am usually between medium and large in most brands
