Submitted by Rohan Neilson a from New Zealand
Date Reviewed: April 8, 2003
Favorite Trail:www.timarubmx.cjb.net
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $300.00
Strengths:cheap. same frame as sherman
Weaknesses:parts are crap
Similar Products Used:a gt a trek and a few borrowed haros
Bike Setup:milk bars & thermal forks, fsa pig, primo seat & pedals, profile cranks
Bottom Line:lasted me (an almost 190lb rider) over a year but only frame & stem are still standard -everything else has broken but find a bike for less than my cranks and wheels cost that won't. I dont regret buying this bike -theres not alot of options over here and all of them break. ive seen similar priced bikes do alot worse. you can either fork out $1500 now for a really nice bike or slowly upgrade the parts on a crap one such as the mr lucky as you progress.
(on the other hand maybe not everyone needs ss cranks and hazards cos they break everything else)
