from Clemmons NC Date Reviewed: June 20, 2002 Strengths: Pedals pretty good when adjusted right... Feels real responsive in the air... Good bike all around Weaknesses: Some of the components, like the brakes. They don't work worth crap when wet and the pedals are not so great. I also had a small problem with the bike shifting by itself. The seat was pretty hard, but those kinds of problems are to be expected. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hobby Park or Salem Lake Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $650.00 Purchased At: The Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Used to BMX so nothing Bike Setup: Selle Italia seat, gonna get Shimano clipless and Avid mechanicals, but hey, I'm 12 and my grass mowing budget is kinda tight with the drought and all.
