Like the oversized tubing Weaknesses: Made In China.... hated it when I found that out. But most things are these days. :( Should have done more research.

from Philadelphia, PA Date Reviewed: May 20, 2008 Strengths: The components and frame have held up really well since I've bought it.

a Cross Country Rider
from Heidelberg, Germany Date Reviewed: June 8, 2006 Strengths: The frame is fine for me. The brakes are good for fire road like riding but aern't suitable for long or steep downhills. The gears seem to work okay too, but that's about it. Good for my flat, 8 mile commute though. Weaknesses: The rear derailer broke after 3 months, 2 chains have broken on long rides (thankfully I was able to fix those) the crank had to be replaced this spring and the front derailer is about to be retired because it's junk. This was my first bike after having a very dependable GT through my college years. Should have spent a little more coin and gotten the Specialized StumpJumper. I don't consider myself a "hardcore" rider at all. Actually prefer to ride wider trails with lots of ups and downs, some roots and kickers, and when I need the bike to perform, it falls flat. I've thought replacing components would change this, nope. This bike has been a disappointment from the get go when the crank worked its way off on my 2nd ride. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Konigstuhl, Far North Bicentenial Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: local shop Similar Products Used: None, or an old GT Palomar. Bike Setup: Now has XT rear derailer and crank, factory front derailer, fork, brakes and gears.

from anchorage, ak Date Reviewed: June 1, 2005 Strengths: Good price for novice-intermediate mtb/rb. Came with disk brakes.
