Submitted by Matt a Cross Country Rider from Melborne, Australia

Date Reviewed: September 24, 2006

Strengths:    Very nimble, light (for cro mo), It's an old school GT.

Weaknesses:    Nothing except it's age.

Bottom Line:   
I think it's a 95-96 Borrego, purchased as a baby seat bike. I soon realized it was wated with this task. This bike is one of the most fun bikes to ride I have ever riden. (If you call riding fast flowing, smooth, twisty single track fun). The handling is razor sharp, without being nervous. Feels light under you, and realy responsive.
