a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: December 23, 2012 Strengths: This is an update to previous initial review. I've beaten this frame on rocky, twisty Texas singletrack for six more solid months and although it's been down several times it's survived without a single scratch. It's by far the most comfortable of the half dozen hardtails I've owned over the last 20 years including carbon, aluminum and 853 steel. Theres plenty of clearance for a fat Mutano 2.4 tire. The light weight and instant acceleration make 30 mile rides a breeze. I am confident over three foot drops at speed and negotiating our infamous rock gardens. This has gotta be the biggest sleeper frame ever produced. Although I no longer race XC, I have NEVER been passed while riding this bike, not even close. Can't wait to get back to the west coast among real riders to see if this holds out. . Weaknesses: Absolutely none Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything from Walnut creek in Austin to Timewarp in Ashland Duration Product Used: almost a year Price Paid: $479.00 Purchased At: Price point Similar Products Used: 2001 Trek 9.8. This blows that fragile eggshell away. Various aluminum and steel ass hatchets. . Bike Setup: 100mm SID with 15mm thru axle and 90mm Thomson X4 stem. Monkeylite XC hi rise bar and cushy Laser V ti saddle. SRAM 2X10 39/26 crank with XT cassette, shifters and derailleurs. Custom wheels with White ind hubs, Stans rims. Mutano 2.4's. Ti eggbeaters
