Submitted by Greg Scherrer a Weekend Warrior from San Antonio, TX USA
Date Reviewed: January 27, 2004
Favorite Trail:op schnabel
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $4000.00
Purchased At:ediscountbikes.com
Strengths:I love this bike! 4 bar link suspension handles like butter over the rough stuff. I used to fall behind the big boys but now I hang tough. Really though, this bike improved my skills amazingly.
Weaknesses:Some low end components - handlebars, seatpost, only a Judy TT shock (but it gives you an excuse to upgrade!).
Similar Products Used:Fuji Odessa, Mongoose, K2
Bike Setup:Alivio drive train, upgraded to Race Face air alloy handlebars, Race Face Diabolos stem, Race Face Prodigy seatpost.
Bottom Line:For $400 there is not a better bike out there. I am enjoying building this frame up to be my dream ride. I love Pricepoint.com and ediscountbikes.com.
