Strengths: nothing lost when peddling. eats up all bumps. quick response
Weaknesses: all bearings are not sealed, so about every 150 miles, you need to break down the pivots and grease. it takes about 30 minutes, and it is worth the time, plus it gives us time to bond.
Bottom Line:
It is the most plush bike i have ever ridden!, it eats everything up so well, i go over stuff i would never attempt on my other bikes (the feel gives you a sense of security). i have had friends ask to ride it and they dig it as well, and these people ride high profile bikes too. if you ever get a chance to ride one on a trail, you will feel better about spending the money, because "they ain't cheap"! i would not hesitate to recommend this frame to anyone, it is a great ride.
