from Greensboro, NC Date Reviewed: December 4, 2001 Strengths: Awesome deal for a XC - XT equipped Ti ride (closeout at performance). With a better set of components (mostly XTR + SID-race + SPOX M1's) this is a XC dream ride. Weaknesses: Weak but light Front Shock. Worked OK for a few months, but can't handle the punishment (even for XC). I switched to a SID Race (supposedly fragile- but lightest out there) and its held up for 2+ years. The original wheels were just average. I've worn out a set of Spinergy Rev X (~3000 hard miles) and some XTR-517's (about same) before I started torturing my current set of "closeout" Spox M-1. No serious sign of abnormal flex in rear triangle (a worry most have with lightweight ti) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: changes (run a mtb web site) Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $1700.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: Gary Fisher Supercaliber, Gary Fisher Mt Tam, Gary Fisher Paragon, Fuji Sundance (modified CrMo), Novara Ponderosa, Cannondale F700, Lightspeed Obed, Trek 9800..... Bike Setup: Cross Country - East Cost Style (~20 lbs). It can handle moderate (~3 feet) of air and handles well on most descents...but is really a XC race machine.
