Strengths: Beefy head tube, stiff frame (for titanium), shaped tubing for strength, good geometry, rear disc mounts (sort of rarfe for '98 bikes), relatively light - 4.5 lbs, can fit a 5" travel fork without throwing off geometry too much, glow in the dark decals, nice titanium finish, low standover height.Weaknesses: Rear tire clearance is pretty tight. For example, a 2.1 Weirwolf is about as big a tire that can fit. Not the normal "springy" ti ride - this one is stiff (I like it - just don't think your buing a super sspringy frame). Glow in the dark decals wear out after time.Bottom Line: Remeber, this is a 'freeride' frame from 1998, so it is probably not what you would want for a hardcore stunt riding hardtail today, mainly due to the rear tire limitations (but who knows what you could fit with a 24"). The frame has gussets and shaped tubing, so it is probably plenty strong, but it would be a shame to brake one of these. For an all-around trail bike it rocks! It was designed for a 4" fork, but a 5" makes it a little more fun. At 4.5 lbs for the frame, it isn't too heavy either. If you keep an eye on the internet, you can find these for a reasonable price. Plus, these were made in Washington (USA!). I think only 100 or so were made.
