Strengths: Light, quick, good up hills.Weaknesses: Unable to take a rear disc brake.Bottom Line: A lightweight MTB that is smooth to ride (used mainly for commuting) and because of it's light weight, requires little effort to get up hills. Just a shame that a rear disc brake can't be fitted, but not a major problem.
Nice to see that us British can still make excellent bikes.

Strengths: Light, stiff, quick and responsive. It's British and it works!!Weaknesses: Showing it's age a bit now.....you can't fit disks, but who needs to stop in the wet anyway??Bottom Line: I've had this bike since 1999 and haven't felt the need to change it yet! She still performs like the high end race bike she is and I've not found a hardtail yet that I'd swap her for. Mind you I'm getting older now and something a little more plush is getting more tempting, maybe an Orange 5 with disks??..........I'd still keep the old girl for when I felt the need for speed though.
Favorite Trail: Around here? I'm spoiled for choice!!
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
