The older Stumpjumpers had slack angles that can seem "really whack" if you're coming off something more conventional... But once you get the feel for it, you realize that these bikes can roll over just about any reasonable surface without deflecting from a straight line. I use mine mostly in the winter, and have ridden it both geared (2x8) and as a fixed-gear. It has super long chainstays (47 cm), so pannier/heel clearance isn't an issue for me. It's in classic mtb mode now, but it'll probably go back to this soon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/twowheelflight/2928495702/
