from cichester,u.kDate Reviewed: August 2, 2006
Strengths: fantastic geometry,short stiff rear-end, roomy top-tube, very snappy steering,would handle a 130mm marzocchi without ruining handling. great frame detailing...reinforcment tubes around the B.B/built-in brakeboost/cnc head.Weaknesses: at first i was'nt into the green, it was just too loud. but after a month of riding it down the sk8park i love its 'look at me' colour. i.ve even just ordered some green tyres!Bottom Line: I absolutly love this bike. theres a lot more room than on previous 24" specific bikes ive had in the past, yet it feels just as agile. the front end is great,one up-grade i intend to make soon is to up the travel a bit and get larger forx, as the geometry can definatly take it. you can go 5-inch on this bike and it would love it. It took a few days to dial the drivetrain in, i went thru a few chain-devices before i had everything running quietly and without fuss. I very quickly snapped my mech and bent the removable drop-out, but this was mainly coz i was getting my way up on to much higher objects than i peviously could...somthing i attribute to this bike amazing ability to get air-bourne. no, im impressed and im even thinking about buying another one....
Favorite Trail: the rocky horror
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$200.00
Purchased At: privare sale
Similar Products Used: over the years ive ridden a lot of 24" bikes. for techy street stuff, an alu-framed 24"specific rules.
Bike Setup: running 48-spoke combats (white)with marzocchi dirt jam pro's (100mm), 31.8 riser-bar + stem, hussefelt cranks w/32t ring and blackspire DS-1 chain-device, 9-spd cassete w/Tiagra roadie r/mech, avid SD-5 levers, deore shifter, a 200mm mech disc on the front (!), an XT 'v' at the rear w/supersoft trials pads, Identiti 27.2 post and Identiti saddle, Primo super-tenderizer pedals. The seat is wound 3ins above the top-tube so i can grip it w/my knees for no-handed stuff. Its quite an unusual set-up, but its totally dialled in for my type of street riding, which involves tight technical lines/ front-wheel pivots/ big drops/ stylish airs/ big sketchy transitions.
