Strengths: Light, sturdy and smooth. great all day epic hard tail bike. I'm a clyde and light things normally scare me. this on the other hand has held up well to my clumsiness.calm and predictable handling, with lovely forgiving ride. its one of those bikes that feels like an extension of your body after a long ride.
and i forgot sliding paragon dropouts too!Weaknesses: takes some time to produce. then again you cant rush something this good.Bottom Line: if you need one hardtail to rule them and in the darkness bind them, this is the one for you. great all day every day ride.

Strengths: Smooth riding, precise handling, beautiful.Weaknesses: none reallyBottom Line: I've owned dozens of bikes made from the most exotic materials and the trickest suspension platforms, but my season on the Siren was the most fun I've had since I first discovered the sport. There's something to be said for simplicity. This bike is always ready to roll. No fidgeting with shock pumps, or checking sag. Just roll out the door and have fun. On the single track this bike really shines.
The steel really smooths things out, but keeps you connected. It really makes my riding flow better as I can feel the trail, yet not feel beat up by it. Brendan really has the geo dialed in. It's stable at speed, yet very manageable when things get tight, and twisty. You can get fully custom everything, but I went with a stock geometry Large in a sexy deep Burgundy. The thing looks as good as it rides with excellent paint, beautiful welds, and a sweet head badge.
Bottom line, it's a great bike at a great price that makes you feel like a kid again. I highly recommend the John Henry.
