Duration Product Used:
More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$600.00
Purchased At:
Orion Bikes
Strengths:
Interesting design, like the motorcycle master link. Nice paint job (costly read below)
Weaknesses:
I did break the frame's seat tube in two after about 4000 light duty commuter miles with very little MTP action. I've got pics, email me request for photos. After contacting boulder, I was informed that they would not replace the frame, rather they would weld it for free but the repainting would cost extra ($280 for Imron). I would also have to pay for shipping to/from. No thanks, I can have local skilled welders perform that service for free or nearly so and avoid the hassle of shipping. Bye Bye Boulder !!! Customers are a lifetime asset and you have to work to keep customer loyalty.
Bike Setup:
Custom built Defiant frame with XT. The frame is on the scrap heap right now.
Bottom Line:
Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
