Submitted by Darren Hughes a Weekend Warrior from Cardiff

Date Reviewed: September 21, 2007

Strengths:    Awesome looking frame
Really nice geometry
Good placement of center of gravity


Weaknesses:    the screw holes for the chain device hard to find screws to fit!!

back disc brake mounts not the strongest (well i was using a mono6 with a 203mm disc)


Bottom Line:   
Absolutly awesome bike, a pleasure to ride!! dont go overboard on the braking like i did or the frame WILL snap, apart from that you can batter the thing and ride home with just a few scratches.

Strengths:    good componantary, good looks, amazing seat and post.

Weaknesses:    bad brakes, bad gearing, bad frame, bad wheelset and bad pedals

Bottom Line:   
i killed the frame, brakes, gears, wheels and pedals in less than 2 months i had to pay twice as much for it now to get it to where i want it to be. dont just not buy this bike, dont buy a factory bike at this price range, because you end up changing almost everything on it anyway. if your a small guy that dosent use hard braking go for it, otherwise dont even try.
