      <title>April Build of the Month - Stumpjumper</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1012/802057721_2955b905a5_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1012/802057721_fb68a8f1c5_m.jpg" align=right hspace=5 vspace=5&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Charles said that we should make this the bike of the year, as it may be the best looking bike we have done all year. The green carbon frame sure is pretty, and will definitely blend in well with our beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains forest trails.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bike was an upgrade for the customer from a trusty titanium hardtail that he had ridden for years.  He has access to &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://passiontrailbikes.com/pages/SDF"&gt;The Demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and wanted a bike that was better suited for there.  This bike sure fit the bill, with 5&amp;#8221;+ travel on a bike that weighs about 26.5 lbs.&lt;/p&gt;
