a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: January 21, 2013 Strengths: Super balanced, climbs really well. Despite frame weight, can be built relatively light. 1.5" Headset is so nice after riding 1 1/8". Feels really solid and planted on the trail. Weaknesses: Honestly, the only drawback I have see is the vertical dropouts in the rear.I haven't had any troubles personally, but I am nervous about the small clamp area for rear QR. Bottom Line:
