from Suffolk, UK Date Reviewed: March 18, 2008 Strengths: DW link removes peddle induced bob Well built frame painted a great colour (egg shell blue...nice!) Some of the kit is excellent (XO, Hayes Caminos, Thomson seat post, E70 stem and bar, 5th Element shock, Fizi:k saddle, Mavic XL wheels and hubs) Weaknesses: Some of the stock kit was poor, now all replaced. - Manitou Nixon Platinum with variable travel (made up its own mind when to change travel – scary) - Truvative Stylo crank sucks (...chain that is). The slightest bit of British mud and it became almost unridable. - Tire clearance of rear triangle is not great for UK winters. - Frame geometry sometimes feels a little cramped. I’m 6,2 and wonder if 19inch frame is a little small. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Bois de Grignan France Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $2000.00 Purchased At: Performance Bikes - Boulder Co Similar Products Used: Gary Fisher Sugar 3+ (still used) Klien Attitude V (fast wow!) Cannondale Profit (crude but fun) Specialised Enduro (Solid, classy) Trek Fuel (Fast but fragile) Commencal 5.5 (Excellent but a little heavy) ....plus other stuff Bike Setup: I've dumped the weak stock parts for an XT chain set (soon to loose outer ring for bash guard) and Fox Van R fork with a view to going a bit more 'all mountain'.

from Shibuya, Tokyo Japan Date Reviewed: September 12, 2005 Strengths: Sturdiness, no bob but very resonsive rear suspension, zero stack height headtube, short rear to center, looks great with any seat position (either low for jumping and high for cruising), subtle graphics and logos. Weaknesses: bit on the heavy side comparing to my last bike, Kona Dawg. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Fujimi Panorama Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1000.00 Purchased At: yahoo.co.jp auction Similar Products Used: Kona Dawg, Bear Dee-lux Bike Setup: bought this bike as a frame alone and built it from scratch. Z150FR SL fork, Shimano XT crank set, Saint hubs and brake set, Mavic EX823 UST rims and DT Swiss Alpine III spokes, Dangerboy SR71 stem (great for compensating the handlebar height with long forks like Z150FR SL), ProTaper 1" rise bar, SRAM X.0 rear, X-generation front derailleurs band 9.0 triggers, Nokian XXX street tires for urban and Michelin allmountain tires for trails, raceface X.Y seatpost (this is the only nice 30.2 seatpost I found) and SDG BelAir saddle.
