Strengths: This has a very smooth ride, compared to my other bikes.
Weaknesses: One Piece Crank could be a 3 piece, but overall that is. and also the 4 piece bars. It also doesn't have sealed bearings, and its kind of a pain greasing.
Bottom Line:
Very good product to buy for your money's worth. I defiantly recommend this bike for a beginner bmx rider.
Strengths: Strong frame(I'm pretty heavy), good geometry(handles well) and good stock components.
Weaknesses: A little on the heavy side, one-piece cranks, seat guts stripped, single wall rims and brakes are a little weak.
Bottom Line:
Great bike for beginner to intermediate freestyle rider. Comes with good stock components. A little heavy but weight can be shed throughout the bike(lighter parts, trim bars,etc.). Very stong considering it is only partly chromoly. Simple but good design. Attractive looks. Most shops are selling these cheap these days. 2001s, the last real GTs(pre-Pacific Cycles).
Strengths: This bike rocks. It's light... and if you think it's heavy then you gotta be pretty weak, because I'm not even that strong, and I can get pretty high on it.
Weaknesses: NONE
Bottom Line:
Great for anyone. Beginners, Intermediates, Hardcore... dirt, street, vert... I do about everything, but I like it best with street.
Strengths: very strong, good for hardcore street, dirt and vert. Awesome strong handlebars. Those'll last a while.
Weaknesses: a little heavy, but once you get used to it, it seems light.
Bottom Line:
Very nice bike, good for a little of evrything. Very strong, it will last a while. Nice handlebars. Good for anyone whos intermediate, or even higher. I think its a little too heavy for beginners, but even if you are a beginner, youll get used to it after a while, and it will seem light.
Strengths: well its pretty srong tho but not that strong 4 street riding bcuz i had it 4 mayb a year and i cracked it am not heavy i just do hard core street so i cracked the back of it by the welding well that bike took a beeting so i wont complane
Weaknesses: its heavy not good 4 real street it brakes fast in my opinion
Bottom Line:
its a good beginner bike but it might crack well i liked it so ita a pretty damn good bike dont copy my set up lol jp
Bike Setup: well i took off all the pices on it sop now my set up is profile crank, dk iron cross pedals, back rim a triple wall, 14mm in the back rim standar axle the good stuff,lunchpad seat, gt seat pole, double wall in the front black, volume reagle beagle bars volume, sealed primo gorila cup, tank top cup, kink star, oversize chain, get stem, pegs kink 3/8 in the front and i guess thats it well this is on my macneil now cuz i cracked the Jamie Bestwick Pro so now i got a macneil

Strengths: its all good. its nice and light. i dont care if it has a 1 piece crank because i do street, and it doesnt really matter in street.
Weaknesses: none
Bottom Line:
Its a really good bike. its really light with nice strong metals.
Strengths: the bars, and neck are awesome, the seat, hubs and airbag tires are good too
Weaknesses: definitely the cheap a** one piece cranks, heavy, brakes are good if you don't need to stop...
Bottom Line:
good strong bike just watch the bars when you kip, they'll bend like your mom getting a dollar out of a port-o-toilet, overall the bike is good with potential. as soon as i rob someone i'm gonna get pretty much new everything.
