from Medway, MA USA Date Reviewed: April 18, 2003 Strengths: Frame size, grips, suspension. I am 5'2" with long legs and a short torso. I was using a friend's bike with only front suspension and after the last season, I decided it was time to get a bike that better fit me, so I thought I would go all the way! May-October I ride at 5 times/week and am an advanced rider and the terrain is usually full of rocks, roots, etc. Weaknesses: Not so much as a product issue but a Santa Cruz weakness. When I ordered the frame, I was told 2 weeks lead time. After two weeks, I was told it would be another week. Again on f/u, they said it shipped when it hadn't. Bottom line: it took two months to get the frame at which point it was Winter and I could not ride it until last month! I wish they would have just been honest about the lead time, I would have still purchased it but I have no faith in their customer support.
