Note the cable routing on my XL Trance, that was not stock the first year, neither were full compliment pivot bearings, but after I and several others had to change our bearings and were getting kinks in our shift cables run the stock way -it went from the TT to CS, so on the sizes over SM it didn't work and kinked really badly.
Price to performance was definitely a thing with them, I paid $1400 USD for an LX build bike with DukeXC fork, but soon upgraded a lot due to finding deals and the fact that those old Duke had HORRIBLE bushing play I couldn't stand.
Don't know WTF it was showing 2 identical photos, fixed it to include the first 26/29 conversion in '08.
