Strengths: The frame's strength, the stem, the genuine feeling of control that you get with the Judy's and the feeling you get when you out-race people because their aluminium can't give them the feedback and assurancet that this bike's cromoly does.Weaknesses: Rims needed truing a little too much when you're enjoying the more grey scenery and hitting roadside curbs pretty hard.Bottom Line: When you ride this frame, and give it hell, it brings you to earth with ease. It helps you. It talks to you. You might even say it laughs at you, because in so many miles and efforts you've still not managed to break it...
And why not? Because i got it, like all other good things in life, at reasonable cost, and have kept it clean so i can still see my face in the metallic red gleam of the frame between the M and the T of M-Trax where finally the stickers started peeling off. Good eh?
If you want adjustability then take the huge amount of money that the frame saved you in avoiding easton, 6011, 6061, 7005, etc. and all the other alu's, and find sweet-sucking PACE forks from the same age that will sit and make small-talk with the frame whilst on your favourite xc course.

Strengths: good frame, suspension, front hydraulic disc brake, drivetrain, rimsWeaknesses: crap hubs (although disc compatible), saddle (swapped mine for a fliteBottom Line: good bike for the money - very good even . disc brake is awesome and drivetrain works well. I've had to replace the rear wheel cos I bent the back axle but that's probably cos I landed really heavily on it. Judy XC forks are plush. Again, very good value for money! I'm a happy camper.

from Surrey, UKDate Reviewed: September 15, 1999
Strengths:
Well built frame, good drivetrain, brakes, suspension forks.Weaknesses:
Horrible saddle (San Marco Pilot), no rear disc mounts or crudcatcher bossesBottom Line: I was looking for my second bike, after a brief honeymoon with the Giant when I got hooked on the sport, but not that bike! I needed a good standover height and long reach to match my physique (if I may call it that!). This suits me in 19 and I am 5'10 with short legs, I also found the geometry of a 19x Orange P7 and a large Cannondale were good too. I chose this as it was a good deal, 20% off at Allenscycles.com, making it half the price of the Cannondale which I would have had, given another £550. I found many of the the components better than the Orange for less cash and the frame has been favourably reviewed. It is serving me very well, I especially like the LX brakes and the XT/LX 27 speed drive train have been trouble free. I am a fairly heavy rider and the bike seems to suit me well, the Judy XC forks having bedded in well. I can ride this miles faster than my first bike, the Giant which was way too heavy and also unstable for me because of its geometry. If you want a comfrtable, fast, tough hardtail, this is recommended and stands comparison with bikes up to about 50% more.
