Submitted by Jen a Weekend Warrior from Chicago Il. U.S.A.
Date Reviewed: May 25, 2001
Favorite Trail:The Feeld (now torn down) Hickory Hills
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $150.00
Purchased At:a friend from Beverly Bike and Ski
Strengths:Love the geometry.
Weaknesses:Needs bigger drop outs for street and a possible stronger back end. I bent mine.
Similar Products Used:I would say Trails 250
Bike Setup:slam bars, redneck, profile cranks, alex rims, ditch forks
Bottom Line:This bike is excellent. I love the geometry and the top tube length is excellent. I definalty think they need to put stronger drop outs on though. I messed up the back end because I'm a very hard lander if you know what I mean. I don't have my bike anymore but I plan on getting another. If your for trails...get it.
