from Gaston, OR Date Reviewed: May 17, 2005 Strengths: This bike rocks! - indestructable as it is, it handles surprisingly well going down any trail. 30 foot gaps feel like butter with it's 9 inches, and it's forgiving like a priest. Very affordable with excellent customer service if you have any questions. Awesome welds, 100mm BB, swingarm construction and other parts make this bike almost indistructable. Can you tell I LOVE this bike? - Make sure you order a floating rear brake with it, otherwise you might not get the full enjoyment out of this frame. Weaknesses: Let's say, don't take it on any XC rides - it's not it's intended use anyways. ISCG mounts would be fine but not necessary. I put the chain between 2 bash guards and never dropped it.
