Strengths: Great build, amazingly plush rear shock, very stable, still kicks along despite being 10 years old.Weaknesses: Paint is fragile (like all Dekerfs)Bottom Line: A very rare frame, possibly because Chris build in steel and Ti so the aluminium option never caught on with his customer base. The build is basic but extremely effective. The shock is particularly good as it does make the back end very stiff for climbing but genuinely is plush over bumps. The 80mm Fox forks up front do enough for the type if riding I do - with the lock-out on the forks, the bike is almost rigid when climbing.
In summary, this is a stable and capable short travel full suspension bike whose performance belies the fact that it was designed more than 10 years ago. If you can find one, it is highly recommended!
