No pics, sorry. But i have had 3 seperate friends with a G Spot that have had to walk out of the trail or end their ride day (Whistler) because of a snapped rear triangle. And these are the only three guys I have ever riddden with that owned a G Spot. I'd say that's a fairly high average

can't run a e.13 it depends how hard you ride, eh!.. if you're into hard-core riding you should probably stay away from it.

I'd probably build it with a Z1-FR with ETA, singletrack rims, 2.5 minion tires, XT brakes, X7 drivetrain and a DHX coil for shore type riding and whistler.

That sounds like a very nice setup on a very nice frame in my oppinion. I've never seen any damage to a G-Spot that wasent rider error. Cove makes great bikes, no exceptions.

What would you recommend? Something less than $3200, 6" travel, built to be around 35lbs (realistic) that I can technical climb with (Woodlot) and descend (A-line, CBC, Neds etc)

I've tried a gemini and it is fairly light but I don't like the forward single pivot, it really bugs me and seems to throw me off balance for technical stuff (whine).

Running an e.13 SRS on my '05 G-Spot. No problems. Definitely one of the most versatile bikes around.

Just to put my 2 cents in...I have been riding a G-spot about 3 years now and still going (SuperT and the Fox RC). I am hack and not the smoothest rider in town. The bike climbs well and is fairly light, and of course durable as I have not been nice to it. DO NOT trust someone else opinion unless they have owned one. Snapping the chainstay is landing all your weight on the back tire and putting leverage on your chainstay. If I was to assess it, rider error is the bigger culprit than manufacturer error. But it has been great for me and I highly recommend it. Get a 5th element shock for the rear by the way. Would buy a new one in a heart bit and I have recommended it to all my friends. Good luck!
