Very light and easy to ride. Weaknesses: Although I still have all the original components on this bike, when biking nowadays, I feel coming short. RD is 8 speed, shifting is not as smooth as used to be, and pedals were not clipless.

from Lambertville, NJ Date Reviewed: April 27, 2004 Strengths: Great frame well built very durable. Also the component set at the time was very high quality. Weaknesses: I had the IRC Mythos XC, blackwall, 26 x 2.1” replaced with a specialized tire and I also reinforced the back wheel using an upgraded sun rim from about 2002. But the rim lasted 4 years so it was alright.

from Nebraska Date Reviewed: June 4, 2001 Strengths: Real smooth ride, especially downhills. Gets going at a pretty decent clip. Durable frame that is pretty light (26 lbs). Head shock is great. Weaknesses: Seat is very uncomfortable...that was the first thing I had to replace. Grip shifters tend to shift by themselves at times, this is an easy fix with a tune up, but it is still annoying Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Keystone Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Some kind of Gary Fisher Bike Setup: odometer, water bottle carrier, head/tail lights. Everything else is standard.
