Strengths:    -pretty good parts
-cheap


Weaknesses:    -heavy
-weakish frame
-crappy tyres


Bottom Line:   
just because its heavy dosnt mean its indistructible
the frame is very dented, twisted and the dropouts are extremly bent, im not a fat cunt either.
the geometry on it is kinda dodgy, i only ride street on it so i dunno bout trails but it feels sluggish and heavy.
nice n cheap, i paid £250 brand new
the cranks rule

if you want a strong bike for heavy street
buy it and get a new frame when this ones dead, sorted. i dont think this things gonna be good for the tech park riders out there though.

Strengths:    it is a strong as a tank, but rides as smooth as air (an all together great bike with perfect parts) One of the best value bike around

Weaknesses:    that gay blue it comes in (i got my bike in green) and the crank sometimes comes loose.

Bottom Line:   
a good all rounder.
it would be hard to find a better bike, even if you spent another $250 on one

Date Reviewed: March 31, 2002

Strengths:    Everything! I think this bike is worth about $600 and certainly looks it as well. The crank and handlebars are awsome. also it was used by Mike Parenti so must be good.

Weaknesses:    The Sky Blue model (I have Martian Green).

Bottom Line:   
This bike is suitable from intermediate to pro level and will stand anything. It is worth the $450 price tag and is much better than the Fueler from 2000 (definately my favourite bike).

Strengths:    Pretty much everything.

Weaknesses:    None that I can think of.

Bottom Line:   
This bike rules! Its 4130 frame, fork, handlebar and crank will last forever. Some people think that it is heavy, but I think that the weight is spread even so it doesn't matter. However, I do think that the sky blue colour does look gay.

Date Reviewed: December 1, 2001

Strengths:    Nice value for money,cranks,bars,general strength and looks.Flies outta concrete bowls in an almost physics defying way.(For quite a heavy beast)

Weaknesses:    Sprocket,tires(lastest about a week),bit of a sissy color(Mettalic light blue).

Bottom Line:   
Best bike for the money by far.Rubbish Mongeese were more expensive in the same store.How comes it was only £230 pounds sterling?

Date Reviewed: August 10, 2001

Strengths:    The best trail dirtjumping bike I have had. It is great. It will stand up to anything. I have used it for everthing. But only a small amount of Vert(I am not that good on Vert). But it will take anything. The parts are great.

Weaknesses:    Need new tires(I use Maxxis Holyrollers). Hard to backflip(because the grips suck).

Bottom Line:   
A great bike. As good good as many other that are $700 to $800. A good bike for a rider that is good. Not for a little kid that cant do anything at all. You buy it you jump it.
