from Spokane WA Date Reviewed: May 20, 2008 Strengths: I've done things to this bike that would utterly destroy any other frame, and I still ride it daily, four years later. Super relaxed geo, short chainstays. Replaceable dropouts. Strong gussets, but still thin and sexy. The price was hard to beat at the time, and if I had to buy one of the 08's, it's still a killer deal. Worth all the green if you abuse your ride like I do. Weaknesses: None. I have the 04, so the frame is all narrow tubing, all steel brutality. The only weakness is my skull. The newer frames have various diameter tubing, wich not only looks lame, but adds unnecessary weight. It's overbuilt, and has longer chainstays. So in short, find an old one if you can.... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Beacon Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: who knows Similar Products Used: 06 steelhead(really horrible btw). Kona Cowan. Bike Setup: Marzocchi DJ1 fork, Rhine Lyte wheel set, mix match RF cranks, no name BB. Chopped bars, broken brake lever. Avid Arch Rival rim brakes(who needs disc's to ride street?). Brown Grips. And Kenda K-Rads. Best tires ever.
