Strengths: frame. lasted heeps good with my abuse still riding nice. nice tyres. thats bout allWeaknesses: bars flex, they feel like crapafter 3 months, real heavy bike. rear cog snapped in 2 just pedalling away after a drop (only 3 ft). have nu rear rim, doesnt last well after about 2 months of serious riding. they were good for the firsst 2 months. neva flatted yet. brakes are poor. cables started fraying after 1 month. replaced them and loaded tar on the rims and they seem okay now. pedals broke. lost bearings. cranks bent to easily. replaced everything almost cept bars and brakes so far, getting them soon.Bottom Line: its a great bike to ride on. fukin hard to ride places. nice to learn good to throw around, and i wish i waited for the nu model. favourite frame out of all the trials range inculding monty x lites and brisa b20s as it has the seat to ride around on. i would recommend buying to learn on as it is cheap and all u need is tar on the rear rim and ure brakes stick real nice.

Strengths: My first bike, so it's taking lots of abuse while I learn. Rims are strong, frame strong, cranks seem OK.Weaknesses: I stripped two cogs off the rear hub within a few weeks of buying the bike. I haven't had any problems with the third wheel the factory gave me (third time lucky). Apparently they're not designed for you to pedal while the back brake is locked up. Isn't that what trials is all about? Standard inner-tube isn't thorn-proof so I pinched it flat within a few days. Brakes are crap. I binned the rear brake and put on a Magura. One pedal broke while riding, I didn't even smack it into anything, it just broke from the force of my foot upon it.Bottom Line: Can't beat it for the price. Easy bike to modify and upgrade. Built quite solidly for learning. It would be nice to have an axle-alignment system on the back (cams or notches), because getting the rear wheel square in the stays and tightening up the bolts to keep it square is a pain in the arse.
