Strengths:
Cool, nice and smooth, a good beginers bike.
Weaknesses:
being 6.6, 250 lbs, I found that the rear wheel took alot of abuse to the point that a "Hop" was created. Recently I had the crank assembly snap off. The seat post is also bent. Accroding to my bike center because of my weight, every time I ride the bike I am auseing it, So they refuse to replace anything under warranty.

Some crappy target pacifica bikes
Bottom Line:
Well I guess it is a good bike for the dwarven people out there.

Strengths:
THE FRAME IS SWEET!! LOOKS LIKE A RAVEN. GREAT BIKE FOR A BEGINNER. RAPID FIRE SHIFTER ARE GREAT.

AFTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS THE CRANK STARTED MAKING SCREACHING NOISE WHEN I PEDDLE HARD. FRONT AND REAR DERAILER IS PREETY MUCH CRAP!

GREAT BIKE FOR A BEGINNER AND I LIKE IT. IT IS A GREAT FRAME AND IF YOU PUT SOME BETTER COMPONENTS AND SUSPENSION ON IT, IT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD BIKE.AT FIRST THE JETT FORK FELT LIKE CRAP BUT NOW THAT IT IS WORKED IN IT ISN'T SO BAD.I'M THINKING OF PUTTING A SID IN THE FRONT AND MAYBE SOME XTR COMPONENTS.
