from Boulder, CO, US of A Date Reviewed: November 15, 2002 Strengths: Uncanny uphill abilities- rear wheel holds it together on the rocks and roots, just enough cush on the downhills to have children in your future without giving up that "I'm gonna die" feeling, bomber welds and beef, Bottom line... I go faster uphill and down! Weaknesses: If you want to feel the rear suspension working, try to stand up and grind on a steep climb- a little squishy. Here's the rub, you don't need to stand! Point the stem uphill and do it in the saddle- so efficient. Heavier than some FS bikes but it translates to all business- indestructible and solid between your legs. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hall Ranch, Chutes & Ladders (Fruita) Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1300.00 Purchased At: Veloswap Similar Products Used: Litespeed Obed FS, Access aluminum hardtail, 3 steel hardtails Bike Setup: Zoke Atom Race, Altek levers with XTR brakes, XTR shifting and drivetrain all around, Hugi 240s with Bontrager Valiants, Thompson stem and post, 959s- she's little porker but I'll break before she does!
