from Scotland Date Reviewed: March 6, 2004 Strengths: Its got a great feel to the frame, the geometery is just spot on for me, as i ride trails and street. great componet set for the price as well, cos your not gonubg to get a 3-piece crank on a cheap bike, but you do get 42 spoke wheel set, ad990 style brakes, and a Orgy detangler. not bad realy. Weaknesses: the rims are pritty soft aluminium, but you wont buckle it, just dent the hell out off them, the one piece crank WILL bend even if you only ride realy light,but hey, there like 4 bucks to replace so just get a stock of some, or splash out a 3piece. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Square trails Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $140.00 Purchased At: Square Wheels Strathpeffer Similar Products Used: Heavy tools, but it sucked Bike Setup: stock, apart from xposer 36 tooth ring and many many new cranks

from Oceanside Date Reviewed: March 23, 2002 Strengths: The frame&fork are awesome because it has the same geometry as the Jay Miron pro models. They are both chromoly and the fork is oversized so it can take a beating. The frame is a chromoly mainframe so the top, down, and seat tubes are 100% chromoly. But the fork on the other hand is full 100% chromoly. The other good parts are the hubs, [14 millimeter rear, 3/8 front] are not only strong but save weight, the braking system, the old school design 2 piece handle bars, and the super-thick front&rear dropouts. Weaknesses: The crank, because it is a one-piece, the hard plastic seat, and the lay-back seat post. Every thing else is a matter of preference or works just fine. Oh yeah,the chain also comes loose pretty easily, no matter how hard you tighten it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Local street Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $309.00 Purchased At: local bike shop Similar Products Used: I've never tried anything like it! Bike Setup: All stock except for Primo hemmorhoid seat, Primo rod seat post, Primo slim seat clamp, xs 2 piece crank and hoffman chain tensioners.

from Oceanside, California Date Reviewed: January 31, 2002 Strengths: The frame is exactly the same as the Jay Miron canadian beast, and the fork is the same as Jay's also. The frame and fork are made of 100% 4130 chromoly. All of the parts are pretty much xs which is a good thing. The chromoly 14 millimeter rear and the chromoly 3/8 front along with the xs six shooter hubs are a good combo for almost any rider. This bike is awesome and it is good for all styles of riding. Another cool thing about this bike that I forgot to mention when I was talking about the frame and fork is that they are oversized, they are massive!! The parts package on this machine is pretty much top notch except for the one piece crank and the seat. This thing only needs 2 or 3 up-grades to make it a pro bike it's already decked out with most of the best parts that the xs/schwinn company makes. The brakes stop on a dime even with an sst oryg, machined sidewall alex rims, and black brake pads [thanks to tektro]. There a ton of good things about this bike as you can see. Weaknesses: There only a few things bad about this bike. One is the crank, it is a one piece and will need to be up-graded to a three piece sometime. The only other bad thing is the seat it is hard plastic, which is good for a flatlander, but not a street/dirt rider. The only other thing is the handlebars. You might want to swich out the black xs 2 piece for a 4 piece of some kind but that is just my opinion. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Local street, and local trails Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $315.00 Purchased At: village sports Similar Products Used: There is nothing like it!!!!!!! Bike Setup: xs three piece crank, haro mirra pro handle bars, and primo hemmorhoid seat, every thing else is totally stock.
