    Strengths:    Great looking and an excellent parts pic.

    Weaknesses:    None yet, but I switched out the Shimano SPD pedals for some flats because the morning of the ride I realized that I had tossed out my old cycling shoes. Have some new ones on order though.(Shimano)

    Bottom Line:   
    This bike has it all for me. I mean it covers every thing from XC to light freeride. I forgot how awsome it is just to go out and explore a new trail, heck ,I printed out a map the night before my ride and in the morning I couldn't find it but that was ok, I rode trails at random not caring if I got lost or not ( It was only a 700 acre park)
    Now get out there and spank that mountain!

    Strengths:    A really good parts pic for the money.
    Great handling bike, best all arround full sus I have had.

    because the morning of the ride I realized I had thrown out my old cycling shoes. Have new pair (Shimano) on order.


    Bottom Line:   
    This bike is doing it all for me, and by that I mean anything from XC to easy FR. I went with the 20" frame as I am 6'2" 215 lb. It's a great looking bike to boot! Now go spank that mountain.
