this bike doesnt actually belong to me any more, but before it was mine my friend beat on it jumping and he weighs 275 and then i owned it and beat it for another 9 mounths or so and now my other friend owns is and he weighs 190. he is an good rider and when he messes up the frame just takes it like a good bi***. if it hasn't broken by now then it wont. the only reason i wrote this review is because of the disses on it. i was amazed by them. and i dont know what the other guy was meashuring his seat tube with but mine is a 27.2

Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$350.00
Purchased At:
Jenson USA
Strengths:
Long,sloping top tube and fast appearance.
Weaknesses:
Cracked weld on the chain stay, poor tubing alignment, head tube not milled square, weird seat post size (27.0mm), poor sticker design.
Bike Setup:
Manitou EFC, Sun Ryno Lites, Grafton Cranks, Specialized riser bars, Thomson post.
Bottom Line:
Bought this bike to use as a 26 inch bmx cruiser, but when I went to build it up, I found that the head tube was not milled properly. When I took it to the local shop, the employees noticed the cracked weld in the chain stay.
Called the company and the owner said he would contact me about a new frame. Never did. Piece of junk is hanging in my basement.
Buy one if you dare.

Price Paid:
$200.00
Purchased At:

Strengths:
Nice as geometry and angles real stiff back end corners real nice and can mount a disk on the rear
Weaknesses:
the horizontal dropouts suck they keep moving, the trye clearance in the back and it can only take a small chainguide. nothing to great but still a little hassle
Similar Products Used:
gt ruckus 2.0, daimond back jump pro, coyote jump bike, p3
Bike Setup:
cheeta frame boxxers, hayes disks, 321 rims and hope hubs, raceface cranks and shimano gears
Bottom Line:
a rad as little hardtail dual bike rocks on smooth stuff and corners real good has a low as centre of gravity and could carve up anything on the market!!! but a little niggle is the clearance for the trye in the back end and the dropouts would be primo as if had more clearance and had a mount for the rear axle!!! get one they rock on
