a Cross Country Rider
from Banstead, Surrey, England Date Reviewed: October 3, 2006 Strengths: This bike is very light, even though I have the XL frame. Things I Love about this bike- beautiful craftmanship, quality components, easy to ride, Hydraulic disk brakes, good looking, fork-mounted lockout/rebound adjustment and nice frame geometry. Plus very durable for a sports xc bike. Weaknesses: standard tyres give no confidence on the road. Many people say that 80mm fork travel is too little for this bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: winterpark, kent Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1640.00 Purchased At: www.Pedalon.co.uk Similar Products Used: Scott tampico '00, scott boulder '04 and scott montana '05 Bike Setup: Standard, apart from tyres and brake pads. Also, some f*cker stole my saddle & seatpost. Beware of Quick release = quick theft. use a saddle saver about £3.
