from Durango Colorado CO Date Reviewed: June 28, 2004 Strengths: Ok frame, pretty good componants. The price is great, for beginers. It's good if you just starting to race because your not spending a ton of money (for a race bike). Weaknesses: You might wonder why I am writing another review. Just a few months after I wrote that rewiew, I striped my handle bars and stem, I ruined a second rear hub, and bent the seat post. Luckly after I striped my handle bars I had an older pair in the shed. After those would not stay in place I tighened them, I mean I really cranked on those stem bolts. I was worried if I tighend them any more, they would strip. So if you own this bike, make sure you stems bolts are tight, you might stripe your handle bars, and check them often to make sure their tight. Once again I ruined my rear hub. The first time (last year) I was trying to take off the crap freewheel that came with the bike to put on a new ACS freewheel. It took the shop 20 minutes of dinking around to get the damn freewheel to even budge. Then they spent 20 minutes trying to get it off. It would'nt come off. They warrented the wheel and gave me a free ACS free wheel to put on it right away. I just thought that maybe they had cross threaded the free wheel, or it was a faulty hub or some thing. But the secound one... I now worked at the shop, I was cleaning my bike, and when I looked at my free wheel it really needed to be cleaned inside. I went to take it off. I spent 20 minutes trying to get it off. When I did, my hub was f*cked up again! I could'nt warrenty it. And I had a big race that weekend and I could not find a desent hub anywhere. I was forced to by the same wheel, again. I think I'm going to save up and do it right and get a Chris King. The Redline hubs are awesome... at first. They spin like butter! But they have to be replaced. And unless you work at a shop, and know how to lace you spokes, its not worth it just buying a new hub. You must by a WHOLE NEW WHEEL. This can be expencive if your getting one very year. My seat post bent really bad when I was racing, I was just coming out of a corner headed towards a big double. I got tangled up just before the double. We hit the lip and fell on the other side. I never sent my bike flying, it never landed on its seat, it just hit the ground on it's side, if any thing should have bent, it should have been the crank arms. Anyways, its good for beginers, but once you really start raceing hard and "going big" its time to move on to a better bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Andy's Trails Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $360.00 Purchased At: Second Ave. Sports Similar Products Used: Not to many, this is my only race bike. Bike Setup: I have welgo clipless clips pedals, S&M RV Lite bars, and 2004 wheel (I got my bike in 2002 and the 2004 wheel is better), Specialized saddle, and a new redline seat post.

from Durango, CO, USA Date Reviewed: March 20, 2004 Strengths: Nice frame, great for racing. I really like the hubs, they are super smooth. A really nice light race bike. Great for a "out of the box" race bike. Weaknesses: I am very disappointed in the canks, they are three peice, but I get alot of play in my chain ring. Also the free wheel is horrible, get a new one right away. It really messed up my hub. Paint chips easy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $360.00 Purchased At: Second Avenue Sports Bike Setup: Welgo clipless clip pedles, profile cranks, a ACS Claws free wheel, and the rest is stock.

from Sac Ca USA Date Reviewed: May 29, 2001 Strengths: 6061 Alum. long toptube, high bottembracket lets you pedal over rollers with no problem. stiff chainstays accelerates very well. not too quick head angle. Weaknesses: The high bottembracket has its drawbacks too. Its a littel slower off the gate then a lower shelled bike. Red painted frames the red paint flakes off if you look at it funny. I JASCO'd the red paint off and exposed a beautiful polished frame underneath.
