Date Reviewed: April 22, 2001

Strengths:    Neck is prety strong,handlebars last a prety long time about 5 months.Frame has not cracked yet a little bent but not cracked.

Weaknesses:    piece of shit forks,rims,crank,sprocket,seat,brakes,tires,and the handle bars bend(but you really have to land hard)

Bottom Line:   
This bike is prety good if you are willing to spend a couple hundred bucks on it.Sure it has some cheap ass stuff on it like the crank,it totally sucks dick,I went off a loading dock and it bent the shit out of it.(the dock was still prety high)I put a gt tubular 3 piece crank on it and have not had any problems other than the cheap ass forks,and tires.I bent the forks on a small dirt jump,it endowed and bent the forks to shit.I put some redline forks for the mean time.The tires also suck prety bad they start to wear prety fast and they just suck instead I got some maxxis holly rollers.I have also bent the handlebars but not to bad.The rims are not bad but they bend easy since they are only 38 spoked.The hubs suck I totally fucked up the front rim i broke most of my bearings inside it.So now I got some tripple wall rims.The brakes suck so bad I am about to get some new ones because when you are flying down a hill and there is a construction site at the bottem and your fucking brake's come off,it hurts trust me so it is better to get new ones instead of paying the hospital to fix you up.The seat is also ugly and rock hard,I seen this mountain bike and it had a really nice seat on it so I took it and put it on bike,It is the most comftrable seat I have ever had.I bent the handle bars but not to bad I dont know exactly how but I think it is mostly from hard ass landings.It also needs o.s.dropouts to put 14mm rims on it.My bike really has barely any original parts.I guess I do ride kinda hard and this bike is great if you take care of your bikes and use it baisicly for racing and take it easy,but if you you just want a strong bike that can handle dirt jumps and all that heavy riding,this bike is not for you unless you are willing to spend kind of a lot of money on rims,crank,tires,forks, handle bars,seat,brakes,and sprocket.You baisicly have to replace every fucking part on the damn bike.But that is if you ride your bike hard if you just jump little home made dirt jumps,ride down stairs,jump up on curbs,race,and etc.,then this bike is for you.It is also prety cheap.(money wise)

Submitted by Chris L. a Weekend Warrior from Vista, Ca.

Date Reviewed: June 9, 2000

Strengths:    Low Price (Well under $200, got mine for $170). Good frame, rims. Chain Tensioners Stock!

Weaknesses:    Brakes could be better. 1 piece cranks (Still good for the price)

Bottom Line:   
This was my first BMX bike in a long time and I really enjoy riding it. I like my Diamondback Cruiser better, but that is mostly because the 24" bike seems to fit me better. For the price this is a really good bike.
