No, the green is not my bag. But that black is seriously gorgeous, some ghost grey decals, and other matte grey/black parts would just make my day. Oh, and a hint of red just to give it some "blood werx" to it.

I had a Devinci Wilson 4 before and it rides quite similar except it is a lot more stable at high speeds and corners amazingly. It also loves to get air and it is easy to gap sections...
I'm pretty impressed so far. I haven't played with the geo adjustments yet but I am interested to see the differences. The geo adjuster on the Wilson made it feel like a completely different bike.

That's part of what makes it so sexy to me!!! Differnt strokes for different folks... From side on the linkage and everything is nicely hidden - a very clean & tidy look.

They have a nicely spec'd one in North Shore Bike Shop to sit on - at least they did on the weekend... A sexy ride for sure and as much as I want one I don't know that it's the right bike for me... I'm not a racer and don't have any definite plans to do any races this year so I think the Blindside may be the long travel Transition for me - I love my Bottlerocket and imagine the Blindside is pretty similar...
