Strengths: Rides good and is a lot of fun to ride. Much more fun to jump than my mt bike and easier too. I would buy this bike again if it got stolen today. I also changed the lever with one I had from my old mt bike. Pedals, grips,and lever are just personal preferencesWeaknesses: I don't like the grips. They hurt my gloveless hands and are already wearing down after 1 month of use. The pedals i changed with some $20 ones I had already.
The bottom bracket is not sealed and one of the ball bearings came out of the cage and got into the frame and made a lhell of al ot of noise. When I took apart the bottom bracket I found out there were two ball bearings missing. I recovered one from the frame and I don't know where the other one is.Bottom Line: Good bike for jumping and messing around on.

Strengths: Frame, Wheels, geometry, just the right stiffness, bars are ok, chainwheel, seat(its fairly comfortable and looks good, stem is greatWeaknesses: 1 piece cranks! no chain tensioners, seat post, crappy platform pedals, grips suck, brakes suckBottom Line: This bike is great for the average weekend warrior, but if you are anything more than that, upgrade the cranks and pedals at least. I am 6'4 220 pounds and i have never bent or broken anything, thats why i choose a chromoly frame over aluminum, with proper upgrades and gearing this bike kicks ass

Strengths: Overall good quality parts. Is an excellent match with the Pro Series 20". CNC'ed seal bearing hubs although they skimped on the single wall rims.Weaknesses: Cranks are terrible for racing, get rid of them asap. The rims hold up to my weight fine, till that big case!Bottom Line: If you cr-mo frames then its a excellent buy. Although it will cost you more than I paid for it!
