from Louisville, KY Date Reviewed: March 2, 2010 Strengths: Pearl white w/red lettering. Love the bike from day one. Smooth, fast. In regards to other postings of weight. I think it is very light compared to aluminum bikes of similar models. I have no problem carrying over the shoulder when needed. Weaknesses: Rock Shox Jett T2 fork, I never got around to replacing it. I mostly do singletrack and the bike is intended for that use so the fork does pretty well for the purpose. Fork still works well after 10 years. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tsali Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $700.00 Purchased At: Gilles Cycling- Evan Similar Products Used: Prior model before 930SHX: Trek 820 Current: 2000 Trek 6000SHX, 2004 Specialized StumpJumper FSR Elite Bike Setup: Factory components, clipless pedals, bar ends, replaced the chain. Just replaced with Panaracer Smoke and Panaracer FireXc. Bought an extra wheelset with Bontrager slicks.

from Columbia, SC USA Date Reviewed: October 14, 2005 Strengths: I loved the frame and the components easy of changing and adjustment. I road on the same chain and drive train for 4 years and only replaced them as the broke. The price of the bike was great and easily upgradeable for a beginner as they advanced in skill level. Weaknesses: I would say the only weeknessrd wer the fork (RS Jett TT), not enough travel and the heavy rims( Bontrager). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any that I can get on Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: Eagleeye Sports and Athletics Similar Products Used: Tired all different kinds of Treks, and Giants Bike Setup: The bike was stock except for a WTB Speed V saddle, Mavic 221 rims, Serfas bar ends, WTB grips, Road slick tires. The stock components work like champs until they just wore out from use.

from Indianapolis, IN Marion County Date Reviewed: December 27, 2002 Strengths: Super strong and light True Temper OXIII 4.1 lb Frame 19.5" Price Frame quality, weight, welds, and paint Weaknesses: Trek should have never gotten rid off this frame. At least they should've had one steel race bike on their line. But, I know, Fuel liquid (imitation Ellsworth) and the other ZR9000 hard tails sell better. If people could test ride bikes on the trail, it would be a different story.....

from Wauconda Date Reviewed: June 12, 2002 Strengths: The frame's the strongest one out there. Comes with very decent de-railers and great grip-shifters. I think when this bike needs an upgrade, I'll go with rapidfires. Swap on some street tires and this bike is a great street rider to get some good speed. On the trails, I love it. Fast uphill and controlled downhill. Can't say much more than that. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Spokes Cyclery, Wheaton Similar Products Used: Trek 820. Bike Setup: Stock + on-road tires.

from Vancouver, Canada Date Reviewed: August 28, 2001 Strengths: Super strong frame, could be lighter, but it's not too bad for being a steel frame. Very stable in technical stuff and drops. Many of the OEM components will break, but not the frame. Weaknesses: weight Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Burnaby Mountain, Whistler Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Devinci, Gary Fisher from friends. These are more expensive bikes and I don't feel them better than the 930.

Althought the stock post was stuck in the frame it held up, I bent and Onza post in a crash. Weaknesses: BB( put in wrong by the shop), seatpost frozen in the frame, wheels gave up after 2 years.
