from Dayton, Ohio, USA Date Reviewed: September 16, 2004 Strengths: Decent beginner bike for the money. I bought this to help get in shape and hadn't ridden any bike in probably 10 years. I started mainly on paved trails then just recently migrated to MTB trails. I am a bigger guy (6'3"/240lbs) and for the most part is holding up ok. Total I have about 600 miles on the bike, 500 of which are on paved trails. Weaknesses: Components are low end and I notice mainly the shifting isn't very smooth compared to higher end bikes no matter how many adjustments. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $240.00 Purchased At: Dicks Sporting Goods Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Stock except saddle.
