from Salt lake City, Utah, USA Date Reviewed: April 20, 2006 Strengths: I liked how long the frame is, it makes it easy to throw your weight around when you need to. Its cheep, and takes a beating (once you replace the cranks). Weaknesses: The frame has alot of flex in it. I have had to replace everything on that bike exept the frame, RST fork, headset, stem and handlebars.
