from Lebanon,TN, U.S-of-A Date Reviewed: September 6, 2000 Strengths: Extremely light frame adds to the wreckless down hill descents and quick uphill climbs.Roundout of overall quality parts. LX up front and XT in tha' rear.For the money you get an awesome Columbs frame. Marin deserves much props' for their quiality steel and chro-moly frames. For the money, I believe they're the best on the market. Manitou Mars 1, need I say more? Weaknesses: $#@%ing generic "Ovation" seatpost, stem and straight bar. With all due respect, What the hell were you guys thinking???? The WTB seat is extremely hard on the marble sack. If yer' gonna do some upgrading, focus on these parts first to make for a more comfortable ride. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lock 4 Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1200.00 Purchased At: Bike Peddler Similar Products Used: No other bike compares......yet. Bike Setup: Easton Monkey Lite carbon riser bar, KORE elite stem, Salsa tacky grips, Salsa titanium/chro-moly skewers (makes the LX hubs scream on descents), Thompson pro seatpost and Koobi ergonomic saddle. The Manitou Mars 1 shocks are amazing, much better than many of Manitous more expensive models. Definately keep these babies.
