Date Reviewed: July 18, 2001

Strengths:    looks good for the money, stronger than u think, good size at 16 inch, stiff, light, and responsive.

Weaknesses:    left hand rear stay is longer than right, causing rubber/frame interface, no gussets

Bottom Line:   
cheap, fun, and easy to look at and look after, perfect for riders on a budget who ride light, not for the heavy stuff though!

Submitted by Bobby MacMillan a Racer from Uranus

Date Reviewed: February 28, 2000

Strengths:    The bike had some good geometry before it broke at the head tube

Weaknesses:    It broke at the head tube

Bottom Line:   
The bike stood up to a lot of abuse before it finally bought the farm off a six foot vert drop. The thing had gone off quite a few in its day but I guess it was just too much. The head tupe cracked right at the weld. The damn thing was useless after that. Good value if you dont ride hard, otherwise forget it. BUY A SCHWINN!!!!
