from Montgomery, AL Date Reviewed: August 7, 2001 Strengths: Price!! Weaknesses: None for the type of riding I do. Well, I guess it would be the weight, but again, it works perfect for what I want it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Duke Forest Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1200.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Had a Parkpre hardtail a few years ago. Tested a GTi, Specialized and Trek before buying this one but all of them went over the price I had in mind to spen. Bike Setup: So far everything's stock and I think I'm just going to leave it like that. I rather start saving for a nice frame and then build to suit.
