from Fresno, CA Date Reviewed: February 27, 2001 Strengths: Everything on this bike is just perfect or near perfection. For the $650 I paid, there was NO better deal or bike. The Noleen mega air kicks @ss! Love it, heavier then SID, but perfect for me. The Avid brakes and levers are super strong and the TruVativ crank set is superlight. Weaknesses: The seat HURTS! I bent the crap out of the rails already, took me one year to get used to it. Why didn't I replace it earlier???? Because I'm too lazy to readjust seat angle, and it was perfect. That's the only weakness, but a Flite Titanium, drop weight. Oh yeah, those K2 (wellgo) pedals are TERRIBLE (worst part) Can't stay in the pedals and no positive engagement feel. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Still exploring the area around my new town Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $650.00 Purchased At: Kevin's Bikes (Merced) Similar Products Used: Specialized M2 S-works, Answer Ti spring (sucks!), SID SL, Schwinn homegrown hardtail. Bike Setup: First stock, but swapped to SRAM plasma shifters. 2nd Kore Stem for 0 degree rise. 3rd had shop hunt me down a square taper XTR bottom bracket 4th hunted down some Shimano 747 pedals (great!) 5th Coda Competition Disc brakes. 6th Coda expert disc wheels. That is how it stands now. Wheels and brakes on Ebay. Soon it'll be 1st, 2nd, Sun-Ringle RPM Lite or Mavic Crosslink and Avid speed dial 7 levers w/ arch rival 50's and XT cassette. Then later on Flite seat, Easton carbon flat bar, and lighter post, maybe. don't want to dump too much cash, still want a Schwinn Rocket 88 stage 1

from Marietta, GA, Cobb Date Reviewed: December 6, 2000 Strengths: Great frame, great shock, and great component selection. It has held up well minus the rear wheel. It got thrashed and had to be replaced. K2 was good about it they hooked me up with a xt disc ready hub. Weaknesses: None that I have found excepr for the rear hub. I bought a new stem and tires. The tires suck and the bar ends are too big. The seat is a little hard and bent one time i landed hard. The fork slipped from the crown an eighth of and inch but k2 is sending me a 2001 shock.
