Strengths: Super strong , nothing has every broke in the 10 years I've had it
Weaknesses: Grips wear out quick no biggie, handlebars are a little wide(supposed to be for beginners I guess) still have the originals so they must not be that bad, little heavy at first..builds character
Bottom Line:

Strengths: Good frame, well-built. I like the handle bars... but, hey, what ever floats ur boat.
Weaknesses: The grips will go down easily, make sure you have back ups. horrible 2-piece crank, id recommend a 1 or a 2 piece crank. Its pretty heavy, but once you get used to it its fine.
Bottom Line:
Very nice bike. Good paint job, but thats not the point. Good Handle bars. Make sure you have an extra pair of grips, they will go down easily (like ALL bike grips do.) Id say to get a 1 or a 2 piece crank. trust me, 1 piece cranks are better than 2 piece cranks. 2 piece cranks crack easily.

Strengths: Frame:indestructable, the weight is good for hight in jumping(if used right, mine's hit at least18ft. off jumps)the silver "bump" sticker is pimp.
Weaknesses: stem needs a two bolt fork clamp(mine now rocks back and forth a bit), handle bars are strong but need a bit more knee room for the taller peeps Rims are awesome but i've shattered both the GT hubs replaced rear rim, should've used a post front brake design and Kool-Stop pads all round WELL WORTH THE 600 I PAID THOUGH.
Bottom Line:
The bottom line. If your into REAL bicycle killing ridding, or dirt jump tricks and can handle 40-50lbs of BMX(depending on set-up) then look for this tank from BMX heaven. Mine weights in at 41Lbs but hit heights around 12ft mutiple times daily, without effort, the balancing of this bike just sends it airborne off jumps. I do not think i'll need another bmx frame ever, some parts mabe, but a frame, 99.9% sure the answer is no.
Bike Setup: Sun ditch witch double wall rear rim with 48spoke joytech hub, FSA 10Lb. 3 piece crank(for the 20ft. drops my wizardry bump gets to fly from), NRG BMX jumping peddals oury grips, RE-work the brake system with new wires and yellow KoolStop pads

Strengths: Strongest bike i ever rode, it takes my abuse and can take any abuse, three peice crank, and nice rims
Weaknesses: Its Heaviest thing ever, but it isnt that bad and it doesnt effect its jump, just can whip it around, or ride uo stairs to easily
Bottom Line:
This bike is the sh*t it can take anything u can dush out and than some, and i cant belive how fast it is, your gonna beat ur friends in alot of races and jumps with this bike
