from Wisconsin Date Reviewed: April 13, 2011 Strengths: Dude, it is just STRONG. Welds are beyond perfect. Having a custom frame built for me is like wearing a tailored suit, it just fits perfectly. The ride is smooth and compliant. The geometry works out well. Why don't all bike makers take these things into consideration? Oh yeah, because it takes time and time is money. Kent has a hands on, one on one approach that can't be beat Weaknesses: Waiting is the hardest part. The end product has no weaknesses though. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything off of the road Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $3000.00 Purchased At: over the phone and e Similar Products Used: nothing like it Bike Setup: custom size, HT 29er with a Reba fork, Chris King hubs, headset and BB, XX and X0 mix of components

Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything close to a 100 miler Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Direct Similar Products Used: Previous bike was a Trek 9.8 - Carbon 26" Hardtail. Another nice ride. Bike Setup: Bike Doctor(Great LBS) built up the frame set with Industry 9 wheels, XTR components, Bontrager Carbon Cranks, Magura Brakes and the rest of the bike is bling. The Frame came with a Maverick DUC 32 fork (a bit much travel for my needs). Bikes weighs ~23.5 lbs.
