Strengths:    Strong, light weight, great price for just the frame.

Weaknesses:    no front stock shoxs

Bottom Line:   
I bought the frame for 40 bucks. I bought a used front rock shox forks. I bought new handle bars and stem cheap at a local bike shop. Stock the bike is threaded. i updated and changed to thread less. The bike total was 130 bucks which includes the parts. Great bike, i have always wanted a gary fisher and never knew it could be this easy and cheap to make my own with brand new parts.

Strengths:    Its got a super baby blue paint job. And a nice saddle with a testical cusion.

Weaknesses:    frame cracked but nothing a little jb weld couldnt fix.

Bottom Line:   
This frame is tight ive seen it for less than 1200 but its worth it. After i bought it i put these inverts on it that my friend sold me for 20 bucks. The only slight problem i had was when i was doing this sickkkkkkk 3 foot drop and the top tube cracked but i put a little jb weld on it and its good as new.

Date Reviewed: December 31, 1999

Strengths:    
Sturdy, quick handling,


Weaknesses:    
heavy, no suspension, no vee brakes


Bottom Line:   
This is my friends retro bike. It rode well on the smooth stuff, but when the trail got extreme it bailed out. Also, love the ride quality of steel. Thinking of buying it and putting new parts and forks on it. Mabye bombers w/ 4 inches of travel, lx/xt parts, the fenders. Sweet beater bike.
